The logo of the Voice of Holland Crown appeared to be very much like the logo of The Voice. Not only the image (Hand with microphone), but also the layout and font were virtually taken over. Copyright and trademark infringement was obvious.
The municipality had quickly come to abandon the use of the logo. Especially when Talpa indicated no objection to the re-enactment of the blind auditions. Indeed, Thomas Notermans on behalf Talpa said: “We see this as a compliment to the success of our program.” Wise lesson for coat tail riders. Parody and copying is still fun, but stay away from the use of another brand / logo.
