Heh... trow pointed out recently that it also looks like the
Swisher logo (as in "Sanitized by Swisher", the company that makes
such wonderful products as rubber urinal 'targets').

Great. "I piss on your logo!"
Seriously, the only similarity I see with these is that they're all big
'S's. The color and font are different. The Subversion one has the four
dots. The aspect ratio of the backgrounds are a little different, and
the car one isn't even a rectangle. That's a lot of differences for
logos that are so simple. I think it's pretty safe.
Thanks,
Scott
