A lot of people here are only referring to them ripping off 37signals' design. They ripped more than that.

Sharebooster's logo is stolen directly from LaunchBit: http://yfrog.com/odx67yoj

No one can defend the theft of a logo.

To be fair, perhaps both of those companies used purchased themes or artwork from something like themeforest as a starting point.

But this definitely looks bad, particularly in light of the 37signals dustup.

Hey -- yeah, I'm one of the co-founders of LaunchBit, and it's true that on a startup budget, we bought the image from iStockphoto.

You should be aware that the iStockPhoto (and BigStockPhoto) license specifically excludes using their content in logos.
