For the second time this month, the Canadian Energy Centre war room’s choice of a corporate logo has run into possible flak.

A California-based software company said Friday it’s considering legal action over the CEC’s use of a logo it deems similar to its own.

That comes a week after the war room pulled its original logo, which was almost identical to the one trademarked by Progress Software, a U.S.-based international applications firm.

The CEC replaced it with another logo, which ATK Technologies Inc. of Pasadena, Calif. claims as its own.

“We have already consulted our legal team, and our legal team is on top of it,” said a member of ATK who wouldn’t give his name.

“This is our intellectual property — that logo is similar to ours.”

ATK’s logo, denoting its Alpha Browser app, is a stylized, red-striped letter “a.” The new CEC logo appears to take that same letter “a” and turn it on its side, with a red maple leaf added to the top right corner.
