So 'design' is now a synonym for 'logo'?

In such a restricted space it isn't surprising that you can find a lot of similar pictures. One of the highest priorities for anyone designing such a thing is simplicity which reduces the amount of variation available so you end up with collisions.

I see the Medium post titled 'Your logo is copied', which is a better description.

Logos are the easiest to compare — by convention they are simple, composed of basic shapes. There's still a lot of variation in how they can be combined. Comparing layout designs introduces a lot of permutations.

Never mind the fact that the usual thoughts around logo design would almost guarantee that two different designers at different times could produce similar designs.
