You should probably edit the title to "Apology to 37signals, Kinoma, and LaunchBit"

Edit: The LaunchBit image is a stock photo. I apologize.

The LaunchBit one is particularly egregious. http://yfrog.com/odx67yoj

Both Launchbit and ShareBooster is breaking the iStockPhoto TOS by using it in their logo though.

Plus its pretty sloppy to use a stock illustration as a logo. I call foul on both.

Thanks for the correction!

actually, both LaunchBit and Curebit got the logo from istockphotos. both are in process of changing I believe.

Founder of LaunchBit here. That's right. We bought the right to use the rocketship off iStockPhoto. It's fair game for anyone to purchase it as well.

Not for use as a logo, though, it would seem: http://www.istockphoto.com/help/licenses
