Agency Spy: Fallon-Passion ripped off concept for Play-Doh
Is this an issue of great minds think alike or is there truth in the finger pointing sessions - Fallon+Passion's blatant ripping off Kozyndan's limited edition bunny prints and also of their Bunny-wave based on Hokusai's "Great Wave off Kana gawa"?
The couple duo based in LA alleges that Passion approached them previously for samples

Hmmmmmmm....
Apparently Sony has responded to the accusations on Adrants and currently the blog's still waiting for the agency+production house's reply.

Copy-bunny or sheer coincidence? You decide.

in a world of information overload, there are bound to be overlaps of concepts and ideas. improvisation most would call it. some would call it inspiration.
but isn't that where most marketeers ideas come from? when co-relation and inter-relation fall into place, a new idea is born (which may not be so new somewhere else in the world!)
bet you if it was a much smaller and less significant brand than sony, no one will be kicking as much as a bunny over this fuss. sorry, i meant, kicking a fuss over the bunny!
Always remember why you have chosen to be in the creative industry - to create originality.
If a source of inspiration exists, pay or give credit. It’s called Respect.
