Ok so. I'm actually really happy with how the Proposal project is going. I think that my pitch pages have come out really well and I feel like there's going to be a lot to talk about. There is one problem though. On the cover sheet for my pitch, I've used the Roman symbol for Pluto - God of the afterlife. I've used Greek terminology a lot, even in the title, so using Roman isn't too much of a stretch, right? Anyway, cover sheet down there.



Now that's fine. I'm happy with that. Then, one of the people in the class looks at it and mentions that it has more than a passing resemblance to one of the Eldar's signs from Warhammer 40,000. I google it, and sure enough, he's right.



First reaction - Aaaaaaaa. Can I even use my original idea? It's so similar to another symbol that's used popularly in a similar setting. It should be fine, right? It's a different style, and they're both based on an ancient symbol. It's not plagiarism, we're both using something from 2000 years ago that is probably in the public domain by now.

tl;dr: I'm annoyed that it looks like I'm ripping off the Eldar. They're objectively the worst race in 40k as well, which is just rubbing it in.

I foamed at the mouth while the lights winked at me
