XR & Monarch logos (2019)

ER-MONARCH

NB: Thanks to doop for pointing out that the logo for the Extinction Rebellion movement was designed in 2011 by East London artist Goldfrog ESP, and that it is Legendary Pictures that has turned the logo on its side, not the other way around.

I am a supporter of the Extinction Rebellion movement (XR), but as a designer, I have misgivings about their logo. According to Wikipedia the circle in the XR logo ‘signifies the planet, while the hourglass inside serves as a warning that time is rapidly running out for many species.’

I think that there is a striking similarity between the Extinction Rebellion movement logo and the logo of the Monarch organization. This ‘Monarch’ was created by Legendary Pictures and appeared in the 2014 Godzilla film, and more recently in Kong: Skull Island. I understand that one is an hourglass and the other probably a butterfly, but there is something unsettling when you see them side-by-side.
