Team Wiggins release Hour infographic - but Sky not impressed at "blatant rip-off"

A simple case of someone feeling more important than they are, and feeling what they do is more important than it is.

I imagine the balance may have been restored now!

Whats allllll this about

postscript: He's deleted the tweet.

I would have sent them both back...

It's different only slightly similar layout, by team Sky complaining it got more attention

Diddums

This is the same Sky that won a court case against Microsoft because it has/had a product called Skype and Sky Drive.

The presumption is that anything to do with the word Sky is now for sole use by Rupert Murdoch

...so is it any wonder they'd get in a flap over an infograph about cycling.

See you in court Wiggins!

there are time that not giving a penny to Sky seems to have been the right choice. Does Sky have their name on Team Wiggins kit?

infographics are infographics. they are all over the place. what's the problem.

Who cares. How does this 'hurt' Sky? Man up

And in other news - Team Wiggins bikes spotted with two wheels and one of them chain things, too.

It is an infographic.
They all look the same.
I know they don't - What I really mean by that is that no-one gives a toss except the people who produce them.

Family filter on Nick's Sky broadband in future I think.

If this is all that team sky have to worry about in the grand scheme of things, they need to grow up. So childish. " Bradley's copied my drawing!!" FFS!!!

The Guide in the Saturday edition of the Guardian has been using these types of infographics for years. Who's ripping off who?

Uh, this style of infographic has been going round for ages. Team Sky are riffing on what has gone before as much as Wiggins.

Sky doth protest too much, methinks.

Umm, I don't really care...

Is the fact that the average speed for the current record was 52.9km/hr actually a separate piece of information to the statement that the record is 52.9km, ridden in one hour?

I prefer the Wiggins one.

It's not the first time Wiggins has has done something like this. Sky had a cycling team long before he did and they used to wear lycra and he's doing that now too.

Sky, get over it.

The brief given to the wiggo designer would have been something like "here, we like this sky one - let's do something similar but you know, use our branding, colours etc. instead"

It was obviously a rush job, because quite frankly, the wiggo design is kak - unbalanced, unresolved, poorly spaced, direct rip-off of the original, and not thought through enough. Looks like the work of a student designer, whereas the sky one is well-conceived and looks professional.

The Team Sky one looks similar to this McDonnalds infographic:

Question is did Team Sky copy McDonalds?

And this Octopus Day infographic is a dead-ringer

But neither of them come close to I Love My Phone infographic

Someone call the legal eagles!!!

The guy needs to get a life.. as if he invented the infographic!

Wiggins’ looks better.

Speaking as a content marketer, all infographics follow the same formula, otherwise you're doing it wrong. If you're not using your corporate branding/colours etc, it looks unprofessional. There are only so many ways to present this kind of information!

So much infographic out there, so little time to waste arguing.

Moot point.

Quite a different layout- on the sky one, a lot of the horizontal and vertical lines line up, on the WIGGINS one they, well, don't.
