I just have sent the following to Apple:

Hello.

It just came to my attention via the MacRumors forum, that Lenovo is using the older, blue iMovie icon on their website.
I don't know if it is legal or not, but I just wanted to give you a heads up.
Icon: http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas...s/IdeaCentre/compare/large-capacity_70x70.gif
Lenovo page: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...715959C6382487134EE&tabname=Features#tabstart
MacRumors thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=9239831#post9239831

Have a good day and week.



I don't really know if that icon is open source, but we will see when the icon disappears.

I might be nit-picking now, but the HD icon at the bottom of the of the right column for the Q series computers looks a lot like the HD icon Apple puts on the Final Cut Studio boxes...

There might be a standard icon for HD that the TV/video industry uses, but I don't think this is it. It might just be easier to "borrow" good designs than to create new ones...

That's a standard HD icon.

I hope you sent it to Apple legal. If not, you call in to report the matter They do have a department that deals with this sort of thing and you can remain anonymous if you wish.

I sent it via the Feedback form for iMovie, as I don't know of any Apple Legal department contact form.

Do you have the link?

If you can't e-mail you can call HQ, and they'll give you instructions.

I reported something similar last year, and I simply called Apple HQ in Cali, was directed to the proper dept. by the switchboard, spoke to a gentleman who advised me to send him an e-mail with relevant pics and details. I no longer have the e-mail addy, unfortunately, but here's the number:

408-996-1010.
