Nirvana and Marc Jacobs Settle Long-Running Smiley Face Logo Dispute
The six-year legal battle over the iconic design ends with an undisclosed agreement.
- Nirvana sued Marc Jacobs in 2018 for using a similar smiley face logo in its 'Redux Grunge' collection.
- The fashion brand's design featured 'M' and 'J' for eyes instead of Nirvana's 'X' eyes.
- Former Geffen Records art director Robert Fisher claimed he created the logo, complicating the case.
- A mediator's proposal led to the settlement, but terms remain confidential.
- The resolution leaves questions about the logo's true origin unanswered.
