OSGeo’s logo based on Panoramio’s?

In a twist, Panoramio says their logo has been around since at least October 2005. That would imply that OSGeo’s logo might be based on Panoramio’s?
As I said in the other thread, I’m sure there is no link between the two (no matter how many people wish to draw conclusions to the contrary).
About James Fee
I think it’s safe to say that associating an iconic compass with a geospatial organization or product is not a unique idea and should never be claimed as such. Moreover, I see no confusion in the offing here.
LOL James, you just crack me up with this stuff.
I’m with Gary — compasses are pretty standard icons for geospatial products and services because they’re immediately recognizable.
If the icon was literally identical — then maybe there might be an issue. As far as I can see, they’re pretty different in style, tilt, position within the logomark, detail, symbol weight and color.
