I think I found a graphic on Adobe Stock that looks like a logo I designed almost 10 years ago.

I was looking up "V logos" for some inspiration and I came across a VERY similar design to something I designed almost 10 years ago for a client, well before I ever started using Adobe Stock. It stuck me as suspicious enough that I would like to report it to Adobe, but I'm unaware of the process. Could someone advise me?

Attached you'll see the Adobe Stock image 82273368 as well as the logo I created around 2014/2015.

You think?? Similar is not the same. You better be certain and have verifiable "proof" of your claims BEFORE you file an IP infringement complaint. You could get in serious trouble for making a false claim against another contributor who did nothing wrong.

That said, see below. And keep in mind that every artist, scientist, inventor draws inspiration from what has been done before. Truly original ideas are few & far between.

First off, I'm not making a false claim. I designed the logo years ago and it's currently being used by the client. Secondly, calm down Nancy. I'm not an art student. I'm a 15 year professional and this isn't my first rodeo. I have proof, don't worry.
