Hello, there folks you probably haven't seen my name in a while just because I haven't been rather active lately I do hope you will take the time to read this. A user by the name of Ene Adrian-Splash (Splash#9242) is going around spreading links of where I " stole designs " and sending them to owners of all the service teams I am in, I am here to debunk his accusations today. His first accusation is about my old M logo, here is what he says I have stolen from

You might say, oh my gosh Marek shame on you... well no infact this is a writing system called `Blackletter` and if you do any investigation it would be like if I decided to use Helvetica in my logo and then he told me I plagiarised from somebody else who is using the Helvetica typeface... sad.
The other accusations are basically him going through the internet and searching for exact/similar images of what seems like logos I have made in the past.
I tend to do minimalistic designs as it is what I enjoy and have the most experience in. He google image searches one of the hundreds of logos I have done in the past and then searches for ones exactly the same. Today I will be showing you these images because I am not afraid of what you will say. If I truly did plagiarize I wouldn't even be making this post I would be hiding...
(Also here is the proof for the Blackletter logos that I make that he says I am stealing...
)
Okay so here goes nothing.
I made this logo back in the day after watching a class on skillshare on how to make mathematically aligned grid logos (Just search grid logos skillshare)

He goes on the internet image searching all over the place and then finds some niche website where somebody else has made an exact design of this... might think it's weird but there are 7 billion humans with the somewhat majority having internet access... you don't think there would be something like it??

Here is more proof of him being the one making the accusations, here he sneakily tried to find my old logo in hopes of finding something similar to it.
I told him if I did the same to him I could probably find logos / ui / mascots super similar to what he has done in the past, but I won't do that because I know (I hope) designed them without any plagiarism, also just going to reinstate that the internet is huge and you don't expect with minimal designs that there are super similar ones out there!?
Now my logo wasn't just a black blackletter logomark, it had texture and some other things that differentiated it from others, but even if it was I am still in the right ethically and legally.
Here are some more screenshots of proof that he is trying to get me ruined.
(This is a owner of some of a service team, requested that his name was blurred.)
(Another owner of a service team, DropKick Studios.)
Apologies in advance for any grammatical errors because I am quite mad while writing this thread.
