I thought that would be a good catchphrase to grab some attention. My apologies.
I thought it was pretty funny. It seemed absurd enough that I thought it was totally tongue-in-cheek.
I read this as more of a tounge-in-cheek joke about people who do this, but I may be wrong.
They forgot rockstars.
They aren't just vectorizing other peoples logos and calling it an iconset. They're "sampling" other peoples logos, in a hip hop sense.
