Niall Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It's from the next edition (28/08/10). That's the biggest image available at the moment. It's pretty blatant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrieB Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yeah it really does. Maybe it's the same artist though and it sounds like a good magazine, so no worries. I really like that picture actually. Well I really like The Resistance artwork as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madzip Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I do hope they have had permission for such a blatant rip off... otherwise I feel a Nescafe moment coming on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garseys Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It's from the next edition (28/08/10). That's the biggest image available at the moment. It's pretty blatant... Wasn't La Boca the ones that were commissioned to designed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yep. I don't think La Boca are working with New Scientist now... They've certainly never done work for them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sazzrah Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Could someone point out the similarities to me other than the little man walking down disco street? It's the same style as La Boca, so chances are it's by them and it's not detailed on their website yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deve2k Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Maybe it's actually an issue about the science of awesome and muse are the main feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syzygy Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 It's from the next edition (28/08/10). That's the biggest image available at the moment. It's pretty blatant... wow. well maybe they have a contribute to Muse in there somewhere...like "we like how Muse contributes to the love of science..." or something? I mean, there's gotta be some explanation. They can't expect to get away with something THIS obvious....

It's the same style as La Boca, so chances are it's by them and it's not detailed on their website yet? While La Boca's style is pretty distinctive, from what I've seen of their portfolio on their website they've never recycled a design so obviously like this one. It's even odder considering the two commissions would have been completely different so there's no reason for it as far as we know. Maybe it's actually genuine and all, but it's really suspicious...

wombat_714 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Uh... looks like an obvious rip-off... But who knows. Maybe they have legal authority to use the image...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the small printcess Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 And here I thought the scientific community would have learned after the Hendrik Schön scandal In all seriousness, I hope the use of that as their cover is legal... I wouldn't want some awful fight between my favourite band and one of my favourite magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niall Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Nope something psychology related. I've emailed NS inquiring about it.
