In Ho Chi Minh City, a clinic was reportedly surprised to learn its logo looked exactly like Umbrella Corporation’s emblem from Resident Evil.
The Medcare Skin Centre logo popped up website Geek Culture‘s Facebook page, before infecting Reddit.

This is the clinic’s official site.
And the actual clinic.

The logo makes everything sinister.

Medcare Skin Centre apparently had no idea, writing on its Facebook page that it was “also very surprised by this coincidence”.

A Resident Evil game set in the ‘City of Corpses’ isn’t really a silly idea, now I think of it.
Umbrella resurfaced, setting up a front as a paddle boat operator for tourists in sunny Adelaide, Australia….
They are not using it as their logo are they? I don’t think many people would confuse this with the Umbrella corporation..
their logo designer probably laughed all the way to the bank
A comparison pic might have been nice, or even just including the Resident Evil version somewhere on the page.
DONT BRING LOGIC INTO KOTAKU!
Here you go. Compare:

Wow. I assumed whoever had designed the logo for them had simply taken the Umbrella logo and put some filtered textures over it, but this just shows it’s a straight rip. Talk about not even trying to hide infringement…
I mean, are we sure that this isn’t viral marketing for some new RE property? Because it’s too perfect otherwise.
I’d say their graphic designer just ripped the logo off Google Images and called it a day. Using an umbrella for skin care isn’t exactly a novel concept.
Ha.
Are we sure I’m not viral marketing?
I’ll take some antibiotics just in case.
*Gooky looks at antibiotics bottle, sees Umbrella logo*
