We are all always inspired by things around us. Creative influence is normal and it is not uncommon to take some things here and there while being creative. But being inspired and borrowing some elements is one thing, while completely other to take some design, change a few things, and call it a day.
And this exactly is the case with the NOFEAR5 logo, a female esports organisation based in eastern Europe. Their logo is actually the logo of the famous streamer Lirik, with a couple of changes and additions here and there. They dyed one eye pink, added a scar on it, and that's it.
Lirik himself saw it during the stream where you can easily see that it's basically the same thing, it can't even be called a "resemblance," because it's an exact copy with some minimal makeup on it.
Lirik did not make a comment if he will take some action or not. To be fair to the girls behind the team, they might not even know that the logo has been stolen, and they've probably paid someone to make them a logo, and then that designer was too lazy to do real work, so he just c/p Lirik's logo and sold it as a completely new design. These girls are currently playing Ambush Female Invitational and are actually doing quite well there, securing the Top 4 after the group stage.
Our guess is that even if Lirik don't take action, they will probably soon be aware of the situation and change the logo themselves, since they probably don't want any problems now when things are going well.
