I had submitted the Permanent Bank logo example and The Kuwait Real Estate Bank logo example to Arab Ad magazine for their copy cat section (along with other logos); which they kindly published in their January, 2004 issue, Vol.14, No.1 on page: 63.

A logo (Greek λογότυπος = logotypos) is a graphical element, (ideogram, symbol, emblem, icon, sign) that, together with its logotype (a uniquely set and arranged typeface) form a trademark or commercial brand. Typically, a logo’s design is for immediate recognition, inspiring trust, admiration, loyalty and an implied superiority.[1] The logo is one aspect of a company’s commercial brand, or economic entity, and its shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are different from others in a similar market. Logos are also used to identify organizations and other non-commercial entities.Wikipedia.

A copycat is a person that mimics or repeats the behavior of another. The term is often derogatory, suggesting a lack of originality. The expression may derive from kittens that learned by imitating the behaviors of their mothers. – Wikipedia

About  Minale Tattersfield 

Born in Yorkshire in 1938, Brian Tattersfield is a graphic designer and founding partner of Minale Tattersfield. After studying under Bob Gill at the Royal College of Art, he entered the advertising business and was soon appointed as Art Director at Young & Rubicam. It was here that he first met Marcello Minale. In 1964 he and Minale founded Minale, Tattersfield & Partners, and quickly built a reputation as one of the most avant-garde design agencies in London. Their first high-profile project was to create Harrods’ visual identity and other major projects were soon to follow.

Their client list grew to include the FA Premier League (1992) and the Sydney Olympic Games (1993). By the time Brian retired, the company had become a major international agency. He has served as an External Examiner with the Norwich School of Art and Design, and as a member of their Board of Governors.

In 2003 Brian Tattersfield was made an Honorary Doctor of Philosophy.
