The music forum icon.

[Quarterquack]

Indulge me in my pety nuances, if you may.

Yesterday a picture of a Blackberry prototype leaked. A few hours later people were commenting on the similarity of the music icon on the device and the original iTunes icon. I disagreed. I knew there was another icon that I had seen that was the exact same. Took me a good few hours before I recollected exactly where I'd seen the music icon, and it's the one on the main forum directory's music sub-forum listing.

Any chance for whoever selected it to help me backtrace it even further and see who designed it, and if blackberry is pillaging someone's copyright? And yes, I know the musical blue note was moved if it were so.

Topic-related, the phone image:

I can't make out anything from the photo. Anyways, why are you so interested in image copyrights?

It's from iconpedia (cabalo was the one that suggested it, in a team chat thread about the forum icons): http://www.iconspedia.com/icon/music1-18617.html
It says "Free for non-commercial use".

Keep in mind that being a prototype the icon might just be there as a placeholder, which is something a lot of programmers will do to keep production moving while the artists catch up (and to save the artists doing things twice when original designs don't work as planned).
