Too Close For Comfort?

Is it just us or does Howard Mortman’s logo on “Extreme Mortman“…

all too closely resemble that of DCist?

We asked DCist’s founding co-editor and DC architecture encyclopedia Michael Grass (now local editor at the Express) what he thought of the similarities:

When Rob Goodspeed and I started working with Jake Dobkin at Gothamist in the summer of 2004, one of the first things we had to do was pick an array of D.C. landmarks which would be built into a graphic much like the sites that were up and running at that time: Gothamist, Chicagoist and LAist.
