Justin Bieber accused of copying Justice album art
From Kanye vs Walmart to Chanel vs Huawei, We've seen plenty of logo disputes over the years, and the latest character seeking justice is, er, Justice. The French electronic music duo has accused teeny-bopper Justin Bieber of stealing its logo – and we can see the similarity.
The title treatment for Bieber's sixth album, Justice, features a large 'T', designed to resemble a cross. The title treatment for Justice the band features a large 'T', designed to resemble a cross (you see where we're going with this). Neither are among the best logos of all time, but they're certainly alike.
There are some notable differences between the designs. The French duo's logo is rendered in a more decorative, bone-like style, whereas Bieber's is a much sharper, bolder and more jagged affair. But there's no mistaking the key feature of each – that cross-shaped 'T'.
"Obviously, we don't own the word 'Justice' and we don't own the cross," Justice's Gaspard Augé told the Guardian this week. "But [Bieber's] management got in touch first to ask where our logo came from, so it's not some unhappy coincidence. To me, it's a very conscious rip-off. And that's where the problem is."
According to Rolling Stone, Justice has sent a cease and desist order to Bieber, declaring his use of the logo illegal. The order also claims that his use of the logo is confusing, leading fans to wonder, "Is this a Justice collaboration?"
And as if to prove the confusion, Billboard recently ran a feature on Bieber's album, displaying an image of the cover of, you guessed it, one of Justice's albums. Even Bieber supporters have speculated (below) that the EDM band might just have a point.
