Chanel Jockers

I've been looking across some brands, and I've noticed lots of them frankly have most of the Chanel logo similarities, just a bit tweaked in my opinion . . .

 Okay, so above is the classic Chanel logo. 

Chanel logo and counterfeiting

"The signature Chanel logotype is an interlocking double-C (one facing forwards the other facing backwards.) Originally it was not a logo that Coco Chanel came up with. The logo was given to her by the Chateau de Cremat in Nice. The logotype was not trademarked until the opening of the first Chanel stores.[citation needed]
Chanel is currently dealing with illegal use of the double-C logotype on cheaper goods, especially counterfeit handbags and they have stated that it is a top priority of theirs to stop the sale of counterfeit products.[7]. Countries said to be producing great numbers of counterfeit Chanel handbags are Vietnam and China. An authentic Chanel handbag retails from around $2,850 USD, while a counterfeit usually costs around $100 USD, creating a demand for the signature style at a cheaper price. All authentic Chanel handbags are serialized, beginning in the 1990s." - Wikipedia



The only difference this has with the Chanel Logo is :

  • Chanel logo doesn't have a star on the side
  • Chanel logo is more circular
  • Chanel logo has different 'C' ending edges
  • Chanel has a larger loop in the middle
  • Chanel has more space and width inside the Double C'S

 Other than that, I think they are quite similar.
Except, DC is a shoe company, and Chanel is handbags, clothing, jewelery and lots more.

  1. Yeah, but DC shoes doesn't even try to copy Chanel stuff?
    It's all skater!

    I think their logo might be part of the joke.
