    Which I guessed copied Jurassic Park as well...
    Showing an eye of a monster is too vague for similarities.

    If you look under the eye, you see that the skin is sort of split in to little "chunks" just like the Fade eye. I dunno, it may just be a slight modification of the Fade eye, but I'm not going to jump down anyone's throat right now.

    Eyes are always used in image advertisements and things such as livejournal icons/sigs/avatars and such. We notice the eyes more than anything else, so its only normal for people to want to use them to get attention.

    The eye in the image in question isn't a modified version of the NS Fade eye, its more rounded/more human-eye shaped, and its not detailed as much.

    You think that's a rip off? Take a look at the cover art for the latest Fuel album. Sure its called <a href='http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000C8AXF/103-4940448-8472607?v=glance' target='_blank'>Natural Selection</a>, but that's just coincidence, right? But then, look at the friggin font in this picture! You can't tell me THAT isn't plagerism!

    OMG that font is such a ripoff.... even more so than the eye. I'm not actually saying the eye was ripped off but rather the whole concept of it.

    Well... trademarks only holds if the name is in the same business as the company that holds the trademark. The Natural Selection copyright only applies to games, therefore, the AvP <b>game</b> cannot use it.

    Similar fonts are available all over the internet...its not Like Flayra and Co created it themselves. The font NS uses is called Minion...and the one Fuel uses could be any of the hundreds of fonts derived from the Times Family. Even if it is Minion, that suggests little more than the fact that thier designer happens to have minion in his collection.

    "Natural Selection" is copyrighted in a Video game sense, but nothing else.

    As far as the eye thing...Honestly, the eye, especially that of a monster isnt incredibly origional. Its been so over used in horror movie advertising it's almost cliche'. I'd be damn suprized if <i>any</i> of you had never seen an eye in an ad/poster/book cover etc. As cool as it is, its not origional enough to toss around claims of plagerism.
