Pandora has managed to get itself into some legal trouble with the payments giant PayPal. Last October, Pandora decided that it needed a revamp and hence, decided to roll out a new logo. However, it turns out that the new logo bore a striking resemblance to the PayPal logo, which prompted them to file a lawsuit against Pandora last week.

Our dynamic brand is composed of form, color and pattern, which we implemented into the new P icon and serves as your portal into the unique and diverse range of music you love.”
Not only did PayPal file a lawsuit against this music streaming company, but it had also taken some screenshots of users using their app and complaining regarding the confusion they had experienced due to the similar designs of the two logos, to further support their case and strengthen it.

Element by element and in overall impression, the similarities between the logos are striking, obvious, and patently unlawful.”
PayPal also claims that it had reached out to Pandora in order to discuss this matter in a more private manner, however, the company’s ignorance to their request gave the payments company no option but to file for a lawsuit against Pandora.

For web designers today, user experience or rather the UX plays a huge part in designing a website. A website that provides great user experience can greatly influence the success of your website or even the app for your company and can help in converting a visitor into a customer.
Creating a brochure for a customer can be challenging, mainly because of the customer’s expectations and demand, but before you begin designing a brochure, it is important to sit down with them and discuss in detail the needs of their business.
