>Nobody buys generic logos.

Gee, that must be why if you do a search for "generic logos" you get pages of links to articles warning against using them and teaching people how to spot and avoid them with titles like:

>Generic logos: how to spot and avoid them

>How To Spot & Avoid Generic Logos

>Generic Logos: How to Spot & Avoid Overused Design Concepts

>What is a generic logo? Avoiding overused logo designs

That discuss facts such as:

>Generic logos are an unfortunately common issue in the branding world...
>Unfortunately, business leaders investing in logo design are often influenced by what’s already present in the market.

Anyone who has spent any time here has seen this in full effect when some noob says he needs to design a logo and has no idea where to start, and a host of know-nothing retards tell him that he should look at what other companies (or organizations, or sports teams or bands or whatever) in the same competitive pool or field or selling the same product are using and copy it, just not too close.

Regardless, what anyone might get out of stealing work isn't what matters, it's what they stand to lose, which in this case is nothing.

But my guess is that like most "be an artist!" scams they ( which is likely just a scammervpretending to be from this company?) will either request some processing fee or other money to complete the deal, or it's just straight up phishing/identity theft.

Make no mistake,
>Payment will be made through our payment method

is a gullibility test.
