    An 86-year-old graphic designer recently filed a lawsuit against Volkswagon saying he is the designer of the first, almost 60-year-old VW brand. Nikolai Borg doesnt want financial compensation. He's suing Volkswagon for not recognizing his turn in the design.

    I'm not after cash, Borg said in a write-up on FreelanceUK.com. I simply want to live to see my work acknowledged. I will not be satisfied with such a thing less than traditional acceptance.

    Borg promises a Nazi commissioned him to design the now renowned logo prior to WW II. After being told the project was on hold, he was surprised to see his very own style appear on military vehicles many years later. He's been hoping to get recognition from the time.

    Credit-taking in the graphic design world is packed with dull place. A designer might be hired by a company to come up with a, and then hire a different company to revise their logo a few years later.

But who has the credit for picking out the look?

    Which developers have the best to record them as the inventor of the particular look? Truly the initial designer deserves credit for coming up with a stable design, but doesnt a subsequent designer deserve credit for improving a design, particularly when the logo the company uses is a of the work of a second and sometimes even next designer?

    For all we know, Mr. Borg presented a great style, which was then modified, perhaps even many times, and then brought into use.

    And think about companies that employ a designer in the future up with logo concepts, then take those concepts and have an designer work with them until they've the logo they were trying to find all along? Because the ideas are bought by the company in essence from the designer, this is not illegal. The business can perform whatever they desire together once that exchange is complete.

    But getting credit where it is earned can be a tricky, often annoying game, as Im sure Nikolai Borg can confirm.Infintech Designs
