BuzzFeed Challenges Trending Now Over Allegedly Similar Logo Design
Aug/13/2024
BuzzFeed has issued a cease and desist notice to Trending Now, alleging that the AI news aggregator's new logo, featuring a bent arrow pointing upwards, infringes on BuzzFeed's own design. While both logos incorporate an upward arrow motif, BuzzFeed’s red and white color scheme contrasts with Trending Now’s monochromatic black and white palette. The dispute highlights the competitive nature of digital journalism, where brand differentiation is crucial. Despite the similarities, Trending Now's managing director, Joe Newton, acknowledged the resemblance but views the conflict as a "good omen," and the company is currently considering its response. The visualization below compares the logos of BuzzFeed (red), a prominent American media company, and Trending Now (black), a UK-based digital media firm.
