Eh. The book is about generation "Y", a phrase that's been around for about 15 years. There are 8 basic colors. Odds are it's unconscious.

I was about to recommend a book on this called Borrowed Design, but apparently it's a hard-to-get classic. $189 used!

Yet another reason to switch to e-books... :)

A white Y using a standard font on an orange background isn't a hugely original logo.

It's quite conceivable that they came up with it themselves given the topic of the book.

orange looks much more like the yc orange in the photo. in real life, it looked a shade lighter.

Link the image directly, It's not showing up for me.

It's not letting me change the url. Here are two direct links. Editors please use whichever one works best if you decide to change the URL:

Calling that 'stealing' has to be the logo equivalent of patenting resizable arrays...

You can't patent logos but you can copyright them.

That's why I used used the word 'equivalent' ;)

I suppose it could be called copyright trolling...
