@dodgykebaab you only posted the grid of icons, I posted the rest. It doesn’t matter how much was stolen - just that it was stolen, it was blatant and it cannot be denied which is why bungie have acknowledged it. It’s lazy work, morally wrong and cannot be defended. This is just what has been discovered after the beta test concluded, from available video from streams etc. Who knows what else may have been discovered if the beta was still active and could be better scrutinised.
@dodgykebaab I love The Designers Republic’s work and this artist is clearly inspired by them but not directly plagiarising them. Bungie however has lifted this artist’s work directly.

@dodgykebaab if that’s all you’re seeing when you look at the examples then you’re looking with your eyes closed

bungie blaming it all on a former artist, yet the game’s Art Director Joe Cross has been following the plagiarised artist’s account for a while
