In my opinion, copying is not a bad thing in terms of inspiration. Most graphic designers gather ideas and inspiration from their work. It’s about seeing what someone has already created, how someone was thinking. And that can help us move forward in our work. I think if we like the logo and are inspired by it,but we put a piece of our work into it, so it’s not a bad thing. If we “steal” something, we don’t change anything and leave everything the same, and then we publish it as my work. I already consider this a scam. We should avoid this. I also liked a few design works, but it never occurred to me to steal them. When I imagine that someone spent a lot of time thinking about it and creating it, I would never dare to steal his work. Because if it happened to me, I would go crazy.

However, our business is located in the small town of Teplice, where there are a total of five cafes. So it is difficult not to notice when someone “copies” something from you to their cafeteria.

They started preparing it just like us. And that made us very upset. Unfortunately, we couldn’t do anything about it. So we had to watch as they served our menu in this cafe. Fortunately, it was almost no success with them, and people prefer to come to us for our breakfast. In the end, it all turned out
