I know it's irrational, and I'm usually pretty supportive of the whole first amendment thing. But when it comes to New York, motherfucker better back the fuck up.
Honestly, I sympathize with what he's fighting for, but come on. He's arguing that his logo differs from ours because "the lettering is a different style, the heart is more rounded and [the] printing is in two shades of blue."

Oh what? Snap, anyone?

did i miss something? does NY have a copyright on "loving"?
Well, no, NY does not have a copyright on loving. What they DO have a copyright on is the I (heart) NY construction, which seems incredibly obvious now, but like much good design was actually very innovative at the time (consider how often it's been ripped off as an example of its power). It's also designed by Milt Glaser, the very famous designer -- so it ain't just some anonymous NY hack throwing it together, but a serious bit of NY iconography.
