On September 4, some netizens broke the news on Weibo that the icon design adopted by Weibo's new social software "Oasis" was highly similar to the visual image designed by studio Fnt in 2015 for the ulju Mountain Film Festival.
In this regard, Weibo CEO Wang Gaofei left a message saying that "I found it and have taken it down first." ”
Subsequently, Oasis's official Weibo issued an apology statement, saying: "We just learned that a friend has feedback that the design of Oasis-related elements is similar to the work of a design team in South Korea, and I apologize to the designer first!" I also apologize to all my friends who have followed us! Special thanks to the feedbacker @wang___ far! ”
The statement also stated: "The pre-designer did borrow similar design elements from the online public material, these basic elements include desert, sun, cactus, etc., which are also our main design ideas: In the current social network, everyone is like a group of cacti in the desert, too lonely, and full of thorns, we need a refreshing oasis." ”
"To protect the copyright, Oasis has now undergone ad hoc takedown processing and start an internal design process verification process," the statement said. And admitted that "in the current stage of internal testing, we are not adequately prepared and managed in terms of design, and all functions and services need to be improved." ”
At present, Oasis has not disclosed the time when the app will resume online.
