This is a really handy tool, and the demo video goes straight to the point!

One minor criticism: it's a bit of a turn off when a well-known logo (and even its position in the header/footer) is so brazenly copied.

Whose logo is being copied? It's just the name of the service in italics

It looks very similar to Vimeo (just more italicized). The placement is identical too.

Different fonts, different spacings. I don't see how this is supposedly a ripoff.

That's just commodification of design; websites tend to exhibit very similar structures, styles, and design elements, so they're eventually bound to coincide at some point.

The logo is nothing more than the product name with a fancy italic font face; that's not even copyrightable. The similarity comes from having names with some matching letters.

I didn't feel as if it was a ripoff. It didn't even register with me that you were referring to Vimeo until I read the comments. Slightly similar font with a different name altogether shouldn't count as ripoff in my opinion :)

I know I'm just a random stranger on the internet - but I swear to God I didn't even use Vimeo as a reference for what it's worth! :)
