Why are our S badges so similar to the Corollas'
So driving around and seeing Corolla S models, I've noticed that the S in the badge looks VERY similar to our G35/G37 Sport badges. Upon comparison there are a few differences, but they seem extremely similar to come out of two different Japanese car makers. Who copied who?

I guess its very similar to how GT is in all sorts of cars...Mustang GT, Bentley Continental. Ford GT, Nissan GT-R
Why can't they come up with their own names!

It's not that the letter looks the same, obviously an S will always look like another S, but its their design. It's how they are kind of angled and designed, for example the silver ring around the red interior.
