Appropriation or Theft?


I adore Paul Rand's 1981 IBM poster (above). It was created during my birth year, after all.

Imagine my surprise (and disgust) upon discovering the following campaign for LensCrafters, on a television commercial.

See bottom of website at this link.

Similarities much?
It seems to be the bastard child of Paul Rand's IBM work, and Milton Glaser's "I *heart* New York" campaign.
