It was accidental: http://www.fastcodesign.com/3033174/design-crime/airbnbs-new...

I wonder how much AirBnb gave them to help smooth that transition to a new logo.

I think they look different enough. It's an A with a loop, not wildly original.

> not wildly original.

Can you (or anyone) find similar A's in the wild? Doesn't have to be a logo - just part of a font would by fine.

Surprisingly, Google's visually similar image lookup is absolutely useless here. Tried searching[0] new Airbnb symbol shape, after converting it to monochrome, and nothing even remotely alike came up.

I don't see why it can't be accidental. I wont say it is not original, but it even doesn't have a high number of details that you can use to make it unique. Similar ideas will bring similar results.

Automation Anywhere has the same logo as Airbnb – Who stole it first?
