I haven’t seen any similarities to another themes here. Yes, structure and font family were the same, but in that case we can remove 80% of WP themes and keep only top sellers

I looked in my bookmarks but didnt find your theme, and looked in my email to check your user name but couldnt search that out, and after that I wanted to post a question for your theme, but found your thread here.

I am quite impressed with your theme, and I dont know how it could be copies. I really felt that it was quite unique work. Hope to see your theme back soon with same interesting style.

I did not see the theme. I was just responding to the “I just copied a part of it”. Either way, anybody can see the cached version here, if interested.

I agree with the similarities between the top seller, the web firm website and the wp-avatar theme… I personally find the design of the wp-avatar more a in between of both.

I like better wp-avatar then the top seller but that is just me, and I like better the web firm site then the wp-avatar one. But I find they are all different, similar but different.

what you guys would say bout the following designs.??

[links removed]

And like this designs you have tones of them all over the web.

WHO COPIED WHO ?

We got it.

Imagine you copy CocaCola’s logo, but put it on a fresh, new, greenish bottle, filled with a completely different liquid. You’ve copied it enough to make it a copyright infringement. The same pretty much applies to themes.

The keyword here is “COPY” obviously in that case yes I totally agree. But I think in this case of the wp-avatar they are similar but not copied. Like in the 3 themes I posted.

and now it’s clear… I was sure I’ve seen it somewhere. Anyway, it’s still good theme, and required a lot of work, I hope that it will be back after obvious changes will be made.

Compare these two themas :

Start with the contact page!

You’ll see that is the same theme!
