Why is the logo the same as bun.sh?

[mrunkel]

They aren't. https://imgur.com/a/tNRuEpb

But how much variance can you reasonably expect from a logo based on an anthropomorphized bao bun?

Agreed. Try this: do an image search for cute cartoon bao bun

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cute+cartoon+bao+bun&iar=images&ia...

There are, completely as expected, a bunch of different pictures that fundamentally look very similar.

Not much. But taking a similar logo from a current hot / hyped tech in a similar vertical just strike me as poor taste.

[insanitybit]

They're so unrelated though it seems like it's not a big deal. If they were playing in the same space I'd agree.

[intelVISA]

Bun is kinda DOA last I was asked to evaluate it...

[pests]

How long ago?

I have no idea why you would say this. Genuinely confused.

[chrisweekly]

Huh? Please elaborate. Even just bullet points from your eval would be appreciated. There are any number of reasons not to go with the bleeding edge, but bun's solving for ESM / CJS is kind of a big deal. V interested to hear meaningful objections.

How so?

Maybe bao in a steamer. If the boa are the secrets the steamer is the vault.

[codetrotter]

> If the boa are the secrets the steamer is the vault

I think the inside of the bao is the secret, and the bao is the vault.

[frenchman99]

It's not the same.

[omneity]

There are minor differences, but the similarity is indeed striking.

[mrunkel]

It's an anthropomorphized bao bun. How much variance can you expect?

[emptysongglass]

It looks extremely similar to me. I would not be pleased if I was behind Bun.

[yencabulator]

Sounds like Bun chose a bad logo then. They're not going to own the concept of a bao bun with a face.

[shwouchk]

What about the concept of a window? Can anyone own that? Or, a cat octopus? How about a discarded piece of fruit?

[richbell]

There is nothing distinct about a window or piece of fruit. Obviously if you made an operating system called Windows and used a window as a logo that would be trademark violation, but there's nothing stopping me from opening John's Windows with the logo being a window.

[shwouchk]

Sure, a trivial strawman example.

But then, if you made not an OS but rather say, a search engine called “pane.io” and used a logo of a 4 pane window of different colors ?

I am open to being wrong here but I doubt it would have gone smoothly.

[FringeXT]

Who cares? It’s not like they’re in a remotely related niche. Nobody’s gonna confuse the two.

[richbell]

The only real similarity is that it's a bao bun with a face, which Bun didn't create the concept of.

[nan60]

Haha, I thought the exact same thing.
