This article recently caught my attention for obvious reasons. Long story short the 60th Anniversary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights is coming up at the end of this year and in preparation a celebratory logo has been designed. The new symbol for universal human equality and dignity was drawn up by Yolande Mulke who commented on the symbolism, "I think what the UN likes about it is the continuity of using the wreath device from the UN logo and the feeling of peace and welcoming that the mad with his arms wide open projects."
But wait...does it look familiar? What about now?
The UN is suffering from a great buyers-guilt right now because the colours are strikingly similar to those used in the logo for Tibetan Resistance. Not realizing their mistake, the UN has said that it was, "an accident, and had no idea that the coulours were those of Tibet" and has planned to replace the older logo with Yolande's recently-controversial design.Whoops-a-daisy!

i don't think it looks similar
It's not as if Tibet has copyright on those two colors. I don't think it looks the same.
