• @Meganlara - because LVMH are one of the most notoriously trademark-lawyer-happy companies in the world, and have sued dozens (if not hundreds) of companies for doing exactly this. The lack of overlap between the symbols will almost certainly not stop them if they get wind of this. As far as they're concerned, the fact that it looks enough like their trademark that everyone here in this comment thread recognised it as a parody of LV is almost certainly going to get their lawyers out. They go after people for (non-commercial) posters featuring parodies (e.g. UPenn), or ads for other companies that include their bags incidentally (e.g. Honda). A company making money off such a design (i.e. Threadless) is either very brave, very confident, or very silly.

  The only one worse than LVMH is Burberry Group (and I say this as someone who used to work for a company that had to destroy, by court order, a bunch of merchandise which had different patterns and colours to, but looked vaguely like, the Burberry tartan).

• I wish I could find a file of the old Letterman "Oh No! We're gonna get sued!" jingle. Because, uh, prep your lawyers.

• Probably a coincidence, but the little character here looks uncannily like one of the characters done by Tom Murphy in his fonts collection (fonts.tom7.com). It's the lowercase 'n' in the font 'Tombats 4' - you can see a colorised example of it at http://funkwit.com/images/gnome.png (I use it as a logo on my blog, with Tom's OK).
  
  It's such a simple design though, stuff like that's bound to happen.

• Nice, but for me, the paint-splatter-scratchy thing has been done. You literally can't walk through our local Target store without seeing 50 shirts with that look. Sorry.
