Hi bnb, it hurts to see the word "stole" and judgement passed so hastily, so I thought I'd take a quick second to reply.

It was only just this morning with the attention from Hacker News that we learned about the similarities between the two logos/brandmarks, and we're actively coming up with something new and different.

We'll keep the community posted on the status of the new designs here: https://github.com/trailsjs/trails/issues/47

Being open, compassionate, and transparent is a huge part of what we're hoping to do with Trails, so chatting with us directly is always an option.

We hope to see you on gitter!

All best :)

We've been in contact with the owner of tent, and are responding appropriately. Our logo unfortunately does bear a strong resemblance to theirs, which our designers are working to resolve.

I'd hitherto not heard of tent nor seen their logo, and neither had anyone else on our team. Saying that we "stole" it is fine for sloppy internet-talk, but it imbues your statement with a level of accusatory malice that we should try to avoid.
