No, this drama isn’t who can do the most back flips, or even which athlete has the newest reality TV show. Instead this drama is of the most exciting sort, logo drama.

It appears that there is an issue mounting between the logo of two popular x-treme sport moguls. Quicksilver, one of the world’s most recognizable surfing and skateboarding companies is concerned with the likeness of the X-Games logo to their own Gen X graphic. From what I can gather Quicksilver had the “X” in question first.

Lets take a look…

Well, they both have an X. I’m not necessarily sure exactly how similar they are however. Clearly the X-games logo incorporates some more dynamic features than Quicksilver’s. With the globe, red lining, and inner X, I personally don’t see all too much similarity.

The only real similarity I spot is the blocky boring outer edges of the X. I am not a lawyer however, and I don’t technically know all the rules. From a logo enthusiast’s point of view however, I see a big difference.
