Interesting, although a bit strange to me ... is the author expecting existing projects to want to claim a logo and rename themselves, or are the names of the logos only placeholders?
Anyway, I think the "globe"[1] one is quite close to looking like AT&T's[2] which would at least make me a bit wary.
He does explain a little more if you click the "How it works." link.
I do agree with you about the globe / AT&T logo though. Steps[1] is also very similar to an old icon on Windows (I think it was a placeholder icon for Microsoft Visual C++ or Borland Builder projects? But can't rightly remember off hand)
Ahhh yes, that looks familiar. For some reason I don't remember it with lettering on it though. With the lettering the MFC and steps logos aren't actually that alike.
