I completely agree with Mark. You can't stop a good idea from slowly being interpreted by other designers out there. Wasn't there a blog post we just did on inspiration and being authentic? It's almost impossible to go into a world where nothing inspires you and then you magically make up a design that everyone loves.
I was watching TV this morning, particularly the HGTV channel as I am addicted in an obnoxious way. They just recently came out with a new commercial for "House Hunters: International". I couldn't find it on the internet (I'm sure it will be on here soon) but they totally changed their style. They started interpreting each countries culture and typographically displaying it as the commercial went on. It was almost as if the designer wanted each culture to relate to the social realm of type he/she was using. I loved the aesthetics of the commercial, but I was a little put off by not recognizing it as an HGTV advertisement. (If I find it online, I will post it so everyone can know what I am talking about.)
