    Well for a second i thought someone copied all your site. But its just the logo, but it looks different to me, its just same concept but try contacting the website owner or the site hosting the site, maybe they can help you get sorted.

    Look when I registered my domain I had no idea biduplinks existed, I didn't design my logo plus it's not the same as yours.

    I didn't copy you, I didn't even know about your site when the logo was made.

    Well let me tell you this, my logo was not influenced by his website I told a graphic designer what I wanted and they made it and didn't refer to biduplinks.com ever!

    It's not a coincidence, the designers user name is Mitcharr you can even go through his posts and find where he wrote he will be away for a month if you don't believe me!

    this seems a little unfair. dave :) has worked hard with biduplinks, spent thousands. Your bidding directory has barely started, so i'm sure you can get another logo made.

    as for copying, i know the font/colour/size is different, but the upward arrow on the letter U is the same. perhaps you need to have words with your designer, he may be the badass in all of this.....

    No it doesn't explain where he got the idea from, mitcharr didn't do anything wrong, I told him a I wanted a logo that said Bidupdir that was web2.0 style and the U was an arrow and I came up with this idea by myself and I was not influenced by anything I had seen before.
