A very upset customer here. I'm a co-founder of The Ocean State Ghostbusters franchise, and about 4-5 years ago we used katarra8 to assemble our patches. The design was one that I made myself in Photoshop and took several hours to design and it was my baby in the franchise. We had Katara8 make the patches, we were over the moon, they looked great. Today we found this..

a Instagram group/post with another franchise with our logo, but slightly edited with different colors, and removed the work "HOPE" from the top of the anchor and replaced with "KC"

You can see in the comments of the post, that the KC member tells me that Katara8 offered the design with the tweaks, and doesn't seem to care it's stolen from us. I messaged Katara8 about this, no response yet, but this is a VERY Shitty thing to do to your customers. Stealing their design and breaking their trust/ This is unacceptable

Here's our logo we we used since 2015/2016 to current

Unfortunately she's become notorious for this very problem. She's sold U.K. Ghostbusters patches without clearing it with the group, and even utilised my LGBT logo without asking me.

Sorry to see she's misappropriating your design. :(

I got a response back from Katarra8

"Yes, they got it from me -- no, it is not exactly yours. You have peacock blue and yellow, while they are red and royal. You have HOPE on yours and they have RC."

well then, guess I was wrong. She changed the colors, everything's fine.

I'm pretty sure If took the Apple Computers logo, changed the color and used it for my next business, that Apple would sue the shit out of mem and be right to do so

THAT is a really shitty attitude. Contrary to her evidential belief, "changing a few things" doesn't mean it isn't a copied work. Musicians have made headlines recently and in years past suing other musicians for work that was considered, or proven to be copied without permission.

The colours might be different, but the overall architecture of the logo is the same... It's no different really than if you were to create a Christmas variant of your group's logo.
