When designing logos, there is a great debate among graphic designers about where originality ends and begins.<\/p>\n

The errors of the new logo of the Senate of Spain from the perspective of a designer<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

The ideas that we sometimes think are original are often the result of ideas that we have already known and that have been transformed. A strictly original design is something valuable because it is rare.<\/strong> But there are limits to everything, of course.<\/p>\n

This week Pedro S\u00e1nchez presented<\/a> the Fundaci\u00f3n Avanza<\/a>, a new entity linked to the Party Socialist Party (PSOE) which has been defined as a \"laboratory of ideas\"<\/em> to protect intelligence \"when reason seems to retreat from the impulse of hoaxes\"<\/em>.<\/strong> That this government says that it is going to combat hoaxes, when it is dedicated to lying constantly and blatantly, seems like a bad joke.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But leaving S\u00e1nchez's audacity aside, the new foundation has been presented with a logo with very simple lines that has caught my attention<\/strong>. You can see it here in these photos published by the PSOE in its Flickr account<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If this logo has caught my attention, it is not because it seems original to me, but because I remembered having seen a similar logo<\/strong>. On June 17, 2017, the former president of the Family Forum, Benigno Blanco, presented in Madrid a new conservative political party called Proyecto Avanza<\/strong>. That same day, Europa Press published this photo<\/a> of the event:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here we can see the logo of this party<\/strong> more clearly:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Avanza Project was dissolved without running for election. However, more recently, on February 8, 2024, La Uni\u00f3n City Council presented an initiative called \"La Uni\u00f3n Avanza\"<\/a>, with this logo:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The mayor of that town, Joaqu\u00edn Gabriel Zapata Garc\u00eda (of the Popular Party), has accused S\u00e1nchez to plagiarize this logo<\/a>. Of course, the similarity between logos is clearer in the first case that we saw above. Finally, judge for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
