Hardly. There are plenty of logos that utilize this "o" design, and plenty of those have been around way before carbonfund. You're giving your company a bad name by making such statements.

It seems clear to me that it's only incidental that Carbonfund.org achieves the same "O"--to signify a sun and sky, and not a letter.

The pastel red and blue in the image and the rounded serifs all are friendly and personal. Simple and to the point. Grade: A+ I agree that this logo has a different feel.

Something different. Which he certainly is. The reason for this first impression is because he's using an icon. He's using a simple serif font. He's not using a bold sans serif or the very overused Trajan. It's very readable with nice kerning, and an elegant typeface. The icon suggests a new horizon, the dawning of a new day. It has an agricultural feel to it, while staying modern. And it's a very common visual, so it has some familiarity with most Americans. Very effective.
