aphex's symbol: unoriginal

(yellow circle on top left)
It's for verizon or the yellow pages or something. Aphex, in
his usual half-ass effort, just stole his symbol from them.

The aphex symbol is similar to many other symbols, such as
the letter A...

Actually, I take that back. Now that I study both images,
there are many subtle differences that outweigh the
similarities.

I changed my mind again, I'm as sure that that symbol is
exactly the same as aphex's as I'm sure that that previous
use of "that that" was was slightly confusing.

the last thing you can say about richard d james is that he
is unoriginal! come on people it's a huge dif. between the
yellow pages symbol and afx's!
anyways...his music is important not the symbols, what he
shites who he f.u..s or things like that, but when you say
he stole something at least have arguments, those 2 fingers
don't seem to have anything in common with his symbol!

"but when you say he stole something at least have
arguments"

I think the link to the picture in question was his
arguement...

"I think the link to the picture in question was his

that's his pseudo-proof, arguments should be explinations,
like parts of that symbol wich look like parts of the afx's
symbol.

I love the logo. in fact, i love everything aphex. my fiance
actually got me a pendant specially made out of 14k gold of
the logo. ya, i know some of you will think its gay. but i
love it. its perfect too. and on top of that my name is
Alex. so whenever i dont feel like answering questions like
" what the hell is that?!" i just say its an "A". i'd love
to post a picture if i knew how. are you allowed to post
pics if your not a paying member?

i always thought it was an arrow, pointing up and right for
some reason. in retrospect an A makes more sense.
