Above
are the original Logo and name used by Carrefour
in Mainland China.
|
|
Smat local copy of Carrefour name and logo on the above
ad :
1. "Gain Full" and "Carrefour" sound
similar in english
2. the typography and color codes are very similar
3. The chinese name differs by 1 letter only.

Above
is the original Logo of Yves Saint Lorent garments
brand (www.ysl.com).

"VSL" instead of YSL... he he, for the one who
does not pay much attention to this logo, the copy is
indeed great...

Above
are the original Logos
(www.giorgioarmani.com).
|

This one looks quite persuasive too... the bird of the
original logo has been relooked and both the first name
and name "GEORGI AMONI" were modified probably
to make it match with an easier pronounciation for chinese
people as well as to avoid obvious copyright problems.
The first eye contact to this brand easily mislead it
witeh GIORIO ARMANI.

In
Oct 2005, ESPRIT has 58 outlets in Shanghai.

A
nice attempt to lure the customers with a copy-transform-paste
version of ESPRIT famous garments brand. We can maybe expect
that any next version of this fake logo will hopefully means
something. The independant small shop indeed sells garments
and shoes.

Nice
sample of a Colgate toothbrush (Colgate has a factory
in China) followed by a nice copy, branded "XKCK".
Both toothbrushed being slightly different, the packaging
is amazingly similar. Both are sold in the same store,
displayed next to each other and intentionally confusing
for the customer...

Nice name for a garments store, found in Harbin, Heilongjiang

been to be a luxury car dealer? | Photo by A. Mathey,

these are well 2 different booths displaying curously
similar kind of items (wallets, pens... etc). The 2 booths
are located no more than 3 meters away from each other...
in the Beijing Capital Airport domestic departure area.
(photo taken in Nov 2003).
Update : During a trip in Beijing in September
2004, it has been removed and only the real Mont Blanc
booth remains. |

"Manger"
means "to eat" in French. This shop could have
been a restaurant, but for now it sells fashion bags.

"Fin"
means either "the end" or "fine/delicate"
in French (thank you Franca).

The
chinese shops even borrow the Hong-Kong brands creations
now... The shop owner has probably seen the original
brand in a Hong-Kong mall (this already-funky name is
a chain in Hong-Kong). An interesting mix of French
and English which means ... strictly nothing. ("Belle"
in French means "Beautiful")
