Portal logo conspiracy?
I noticed quite a while ago, and it caught my eye.

The logo on my monitor bears a slight resemblance to the Portal video game logo.


Intresting eh?

I've got a BenQ monitor. Does that mean a person called Ben could sue BenQ?

If BenQ owns copywrite to a logo with his name on it, and the company that made the monitors has one thats very simlar.. then yeah most likely.

It's not illegal to draw inspiration from other people's work. Especially if it's a random company like Proview.
