Girls' Generation's 15th anniversary logo plagiarizes Disney's Ocean logo, sparking heated debate

The veteran Korean girl idol group Girls' Generation is celebrating its 15th anniversary of its debut. The official recently announced that they will release a new 15th anniversary album. However, the appearance of the 15th anniversary commemorative LOGO in the commemorative MV has sparked heated discussions. Some sharp-eyed fans discovered that this commemorative LOGO is suspected of plagiarizing Disney Ocean's same 15th anniversary commemorative logo. The director of the MV recently admitted to the plagiarism and apologized to the public.

•This commemorative LOGO appeared in the MV of Girls’ Generation’s new song “Forever 1”. It looked like a good design, but the public’s eyes were sharp. Fans soon discovered that this LOGO looked very similar to the commemorative LOGO of Tokyo DisneySea when it commemorated its 15th anniversary, sparking heated discussions and doubts.

•Although Girls’ Generation MV officials admitted that they had referred to many design examples on the Internet when designing it, it is not known whether the designer behind the scenes was lazy or had a slip of the eye, which led to the current result. The director finally admitted to plagiarism and apologized to the public.
