I agree that it is probably 100% true that the basic design started from the same elements if you look at the teeth and ear shape and nose and whiskers. Many of these design and marketing firms have a lot of the same "stock images " or designs in their data bases or design software.
People that are saying these logos aren’t close, aren’t looking deep enough.
It is also possible the same design company did both logos, but there is also enough changed that it would not be considered a copyright infringement.
No question in my mind, at all. Except for colouring, the artwork on the teeth, nose, and “moustache” is an exact copy of our tiger, and the placement of the eyes and ears, on the head, is the same, as well.
Didn’t know there was such an animal that was called a Tiger-Cat, the name came about because of the Flying Tigers/Wildcats merger, the name doesn’t make much sense.
Like naming a team the Lion-Cats
