Justice say Justin Bieber album logo was a “very conscious rip-off”

It’s a cross replacing a “t.” Do they really think this is worth any publicity? I wouldn’t even call this stealing. 

Sure, but the fact that his team contacted them to ask the origin of the font... clearly their logo was in mind in its creation.... common sense.

Without a doubt. But what about it? Should he say, “hey, I like that they had a cross in their font so I added a cross in a different font.” How ridiculous would that be.

Justin's team is not slick

for a website full of little managers you don't seem to understand that they have been using that logo for years and fans recognize it. It's not about the logo being groundbreaking or not. It's not just about the T being a cross. It's literally the same name written in... the same way. Imagine if an artist would release an album called Lady Gaga and the typo being a font very similar to what she used before like Impact or something. 

If I had seen Justin's album in stores I would have believed it was a Justice album at first.

Maybe Justin already had the sketch and his team was just doing due diligence so they contacted owners of similar logos. Doesn't prove malice. It's standard procedure.

These logos are completely different. I think their story is made up to get some promo. 

If his team asked them they would've complained about it before the album came out and probably sued them after the cover was out.
