A stylized vector camera shutter I created for my tattoo.

This vector file is no longer available for download under Creative Commons as too many people have abused the conditions of the license.

See the completed tattoo here.

Makes me laugh that you create something that has been done by many business a million times over and then get mad when people use your stolen idea. Looks identical to the Shutterbug shutter any many others not to mention it exists in probably a million photographers watermarks.

I will admit that my design is very simple and easily replicated, however many of the web pages, logos, t-shirts etc I've seen it on did not exist before I created my design. I know, because I went looking for one myself, and in the end I gave up and had to make my own. Of course the camera shutter is a common element in photographer logos/branding, but it's pretty suspicious when other designs start popping up featuring a shutter with exactly the same amount of leaves, exactly the same angles/curves, exactly the same ratios and in exactly the same position. Most people didn't even bother to rotate it, and many have simply hotlinked or made references to my design in my DeviantART gallery, without complying to the Creative Commons license I have assigned to it. The 'straw that broke the camel's back' (who I won't mention on here because frankly, they don't deserve any free advertising) admitted in writing that the vector image they used in their t-shirt design was obtained from a third party, who at the time were still hotlinking to my DeviantART account. Both US and Australian Copyright law states that you must have permission from the copyright owner before using their work, which did not happen in this case. So, 'real art critic', I think I can be fairly sure that people have stolen my design (not my idea; if you knew anything about copyright, you would know that it's not possible to copyright an idea), and that I did not steal it from anyone else.

I know for a fact that Shutterbug Magazine had that logo probably before you were born. And it is nearly identical in shape and form. Yours has 6 blades shutterbug 8 and you use more than 1 color. But if you look at the magazine you could say that you stole it from them and probably did. So you copyrighted a stolen trademark I hope you see where I am going with this. I am not saying you don't have the right to copyright something but I am sure shutterbug has its shutter trademarked and yours like I said is a near identical reproduction of something that has existed for a VERY long time. Now you may not have done it knowingly but you did it.

Go to their website or pickup one of their magazines you will see it clear as day.

I visited their website when I read your first comment. I can see the resemblance (it has seven leaves, by the way), but as I indicated in my previous post, I had never seen such a design before I created my own. I had never even heard of the Shutterbug magazine until you mentioned them to me yesterday. And anyway, if this is an issue of copyright/trademark infringement, then Shutterbug magazine should be pursuing it with me directly. You've really got nothing to gain from your 'copyright police' act, and I don't appreciate your largely unfounded accusations of my original work being 'stolen'.

It was more an irony post not copyright police that you get so mad about people using your work when it is actually the work of another company. It is like someone putting a building with golden arcs and calling it Mac Dowells and getting mad when someone copies it.

I just explained to you that it's not anyone else's work; that I created it myself, and I was not aware of this Shutterbug magazine until you mentioned it. I don't know why you keep insisting that it's someone else's work with so little to base your claims on. And no, it's nothing like someone ripping off the McDonald's branding, because the McDonald's arches is one of the world's most recognised logos.

And again, the people who have stolen my work have used my exact design, from my vector file hosted on this DeviantART account, and have admitted to doing so. In most cases, they haven't even modified my design or tried to disguise it as their own. They've simply downloaded it from my gallery and used it in a manner that I specifically prohibited in the Creative Commons License I assigned to it. There is no grey area.

Even though you said you "created" this without seeing it anywhere else I don't believe you and I will tell you why. You said you searched for a shutter but couldn't find it but any search for aperture shutter comes out with Shutterbug magazine. So either you are lying about searching or you lying about copying it from shutterbug or you didn't realize that there are million deviations of your shutter that exist. Something in your story doesn't mesh.

I will be honest I could careless at the end of the day. I just happened to be looking at graphics saw yours and then saw your post and Laughed at you. and Figured I would post hoping you could see the irony of the situation but alas you don't :-(

By the way, I just did a Google image search of 'aperture', 'shutter' and 'aperture shutter', and the Shutterbug logo was nowhere to be seen.

You know, any decent person would have said "Hey, your design looks a lot like Shutterbug magazine's logo", not "Haha, you totally stole your design from Shutterbug magazine". Just report a copyright violation already and get on with your life.
