I got a request to not add my logo to a cutting board order, so I’m wondering how you guys would handle this situation.

I got inspired by a product I saw, and made my own version, and when people saw it they asked me to make more, and then I researched it. Turn out I wasn’t the first one. How would you handle it?

Can you talk about inspiration vs ripping off when it comes to content?

Imagine, you are strolling on the beach. The sun is warm but there is just enough wind to keep you cool. Seagulls are soaring into the setting sun, the waves come and crash into the warm sand singing their soothing songs…
Then something happens, thunders in your head. Your brain takes the control over your senses. Time freezes, a warm light seems to shine deep into your consciousness. It grows and grows, it overwhelming and suddenly, you are back on the shore with wet feet, and a lost gaze.
Your brain just pooped an idea, it’s the one that’ll make your Etsy like a store on blackfriday.
Just to be sure you Google your idea and … Someone makes a similar product.
What do you do ? Make it cooler ? Cheaper ? Better ?
