The LaunchBit one is particularly egregious. http://yfrog.com/odx67yoj



Nope, it's an iStockPhoto illustration. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-illustration-9935405-retro-...

Both Launchbit and ShareBooster is breaking the iStockPhoto TOS by using it in their logo though.


Plus its pretty sloppy to use a stock illustration as a logo. I call foul on both.


Thanks for the correction!


actually, both LaunchBit and Curebit got the logo from istockphotos. both are in process of changing I believe.


Founder of LaunchBit here. That's right. We bought the right to use the rocketship off iStockPhoto. It's fair game for anyone to purchase it as well.

Not for use as a logo, though, it would seem: http://www.istockphoto.com/help/licenses

> Use in any logo or trademark
