I'm not sure if this would be considered off topic or not.
Andy Warhol painted 'Campbell Soup Cans", as well as other trade labels.
They were considered high art and the critics raved about them, although they were only copies of company lables and logos.
Now, if someone else paints copies of these labels, is that artist guilty of design theft.
