I prefer their design and think it's a bit of a stretch to say it's copied. All of the elements appear on pretty much every team's social posts and often in that alignment too.
Can't really see which part he thinks is directly copied.

Can't really see which part he thinks is directly copied. I think it's the roundabout bit in the background which is the egregious bit. Given the club contacted him for examples of work and then create their own graphics which bear a resemblance to the lad's work, it shows Swindon have been a bit underhanded here. Had they not contacted him for work and they just happened to have similar deaigns then he wouldn't have a case, but given the outcome he cleaely would have a case.

Standard interview tactic in business, unfortunately: “please bring a portfolio you can leave with us” - and then lo and behold, no job offer and exploited/stolen IP…

The background pattern was their's already. I suppose you could argue that the placement of the background might be similar but everything else is pretty standard stuff. There's only so many ways you can layout the same information. His looks pretty amateur in comparison to their's. I think they've agreed to pay him for his time but I think it's more a case that they thought they could do it better rather than intending to steal his work.

Can't really see which part he thinks is directly copied. It's absolutely based on his template, there's to many similar elements even if they've been altered slightly. This sort of thing is very commonplace and Swindon Town wouldn't have responded like that if they had a case to defend.

I’m not sure how much different you can make a team layout,it’s similar to many you see elsewhere in the EFL. Biggest surprise is that they felt they needed someone to create something in the first place. Maybe they thought they’d get something unique in design but that certainly isn’t unique.

yeah of course. Stupid deal from Notts imo Not stupid at all. Protects their star asset for 4 years unless they choose to sell him. If we had a player who scored 42 goals from open play in just 1 season we would be doing exactly the same.

He’s 26 and so should be entering his peak years and they’ve tied him down for them - guaranteeing they’ve got their man or a decent fee.

Precisely, also bumps his potential transfer value up significantly due to being on a lengthy contract. Good business by Notts.
