I don't know where I stand on this one. Museum Hack seems overly protective of their pretty generic name. T&L either employs a lazy designer or a vindictive writer. None of the offenses seem legal-worthy, so really it's just a morality thing. Right?
Final Verdict: Museum Hack by a hair! Since I'm nobody, you only get 5 points this round. I can't tell if ya'll are just going for publicity with this or you're just really attached to primary colors. Whatever though, it's business.
It's not pleasant when large companies insist they have the unrestricted right to certain words. It's no more pleasant when a small company does the same thing.
They don't insist on having unrestricted right to certain words - it's just that the term "hack" is common vocabulary. Sure, some mild graphic design co-incidence took place, but it was pretty mild!
One thing I always try to tell myself is that if you are going to complain about something, be clear about what you want to get from complaining. Do Museum Hack want money? An apology? Crediting? What?
I see they sort of climb down eventually when T+L explain the issue to them too.
