I believe the rolex crowns center is alittle taller, and the sides are shorter like a pyramid lol
and doesn't have those funny looking diamonds ? centered. besides it says Hong kong's leading bespoke. Should say enough about them. also says Budget lawl I mean I don't go all out on suits either but at least canalli was kind enough to get their tailor out from italy to get me a custom size |

I am sure there are many more 'users' of this logo in the world.

Raja have been about for years. They're not bad but not one of the best HK tailors.
I'd say the logo is different enough for them not to get any copyright grief. Also, don't forget that Raja is an Indian term for Monarch or ruler (almost all HK tailors are owned by Indian families) so the crown does make sense. |

it would have to be identical to be a rip off... that's just a crown icon

Once upon a time, Rolex were borrowers of a crown, too.

Who's to say Rolex didn't Rip Off some other company way back in the day ?
Trademarked logos go across the same industry. A shoe company can use Golden Arches. No big deal. |
