Did Madonna accidentally borrow the logo for her new perfume?

Madonna is being accused by an Australian artist who alleges the packaging for her debut perfume ripped off his trademarked logo that he’s been using for the last eight years.

Madonna launched Tuth or Dare, in New York last month, but RJ Williams is upset that the ‘M‘ symbol used on her packaging resembles his own artwork.

Williams claims he trademarked the logo in 2011 and he is taking legal action over what he alleges is a breach of copyright.

“Friends from all over the world have been calling me upon seeing the Truth or Dare by Madonna campaign to express their disgust and support,” Williams told the Daily Telegraph.

“It’s about my integrity as an artist. I do not think it should be able to be used by a giant cosmetics company.”

Williams says that he has sent a letter to Madonna’s agent, Guy Oseary, asking the star to cease and desist on use of the logo.

He also wants money, lots of money.
