Tim Moore shared a picture on Google+ from a story on startupgrind.com where they show shocking similarities between the Yahoo logo and a 1968 Yahoo logo in MAD magazine. It is as if Yahoo stole it from the magazine.
This with all that is going on with Yahoo's new CEO's resume cannot be fun.
What do you think happened here with Yahoo's logo?

Holy crap, both versions have serifs! And a tapered exclamation point! No one has ever done THAT before. Okay, I'll admit that the similarities are more than a little striking. But when you have a limited number of design options — letters have serifs or they don't, exclamation points are tapered or they're not — there are bound to be things that look alike. Was it copied? Hard to say. I can make a case for or against it.

And here I was thinking they stole the name from Yahoo Serious. Incidentally, if you don't know the movie Young Einstein you haven't lived yet.

Really appears that it was lifted if that's an accurate image from MAD
