The Formula One group is reviewing and investigating information about a logo used in a concert tour by Chinese boy group Teens in Times, after fans alleged it resembled F1’s trademark, the Global Times reported on Sunday.
The band’s management company, Time Fengjun, blurred the logo in official concert videos, according to the report. Fans claimed the racing-themed icon and related promotional material closely resembled F1’s branding, though no authorization has been reported.
The logo was designed for the group’s racing-themed concert tour launched in May. Motorsport fans pointed out that the red, slanted design was similar to the outline of the F1 trademark introduced in 2017, with the original “F1” lettering replaced by “TNT.”
Teens in Times, also known as TNT, is among China’s most popular pop groups.
