A Toyota - Plagiarism forwards or backwards

Toyota’s advertising agency recently took a creative hammer to the 9rules logo and then claimed it was theirs. Unsurprisingly this made Matt Rundle a little upset

Creative Genius

This is how toyota “evolved” the logo to arrive at their “new logo” which they maintain is totally different. They changed the colour a little, and flipped it.
Unable to launch a legal campaign against these bohemeths, he’s decided to launch a campaign of a different sort.

The Toyota Mashup Challenge

The challenge set by Matt is to do The best Toyota logo Mashup. He provides all the original artwork for you to do your darndest, and the rest is up to you!
There’s a prize for the winning entry, so get down there and have a go!

My entry

Turns out that using toyota’s own “creative technique” you end up with… the toyota logo. Clearly it’s not the toyota logo however because I’ve flipped it and changed the colour. I’ve even added a nice tag line, “Race fast, safe car” which also spells the same thing when flipped (nice huh!)

Toyota’s Entry

And above is the entry I suspect will be entered by Toyota’s “creatives”. (get down to the comp and submit your own already!)
