App has stolen Monzo's logo?

This logo seems familiar somehow… Any takers? :wink:

Taking action would almost be as pathetic as SumUp having to change the card on their video to yellow.

It’s important that we protect our brand and image. Where we need to, our legal team reach out to other companies to discuss the best way forward :+1:

Does Monzo have an issue with the above Mirror Lab app? Frankly I’d be disappointed if Monzo were to take action against an app that (presumably accidentally) uses the same logo outline for a totally different industry (photography).

We don’t need to take legal action.

We’ve spoken to Mirror Lab and they’ve agreed to change it.

In these kind of situations, it is actually beneficial for the smaller company to do this, as having a similar logo prevents them from building up their own significant brand identity.

With regards to SumUp, the usage of our recognisable hot coral card in their advert implied to customers that we co-signed or endorsed their business or product.

They fully agreed and chose to change it - we did not take legal action.

It did seem that way :upside_down_face:

They could’ve used a non branded card :smiley:

Yes it did.

If anyone actually watched the video, it was many many different cards.

If anyone thought it was somehow an endorsement or partnership then…well…I’m not sure how to say it nicely so I won’t say anything.

I hate all this corporate cease and desist on the little guys. It’s sad

Fair enough.

As in so many other places, Monzo doesn’t run according to what you or I may personally like or dislike and nor should it. With any business, they get to take their decisions and we get to punish or reward them with our custom.
