Yes, as possibly read in the title, Armada Music stole my design, for those who know electronic music know that Armada Music is a giant record label, one of the most important record labels in the world, and thanks to this status of "great seal" I assumed that they had capable designers and creative enough to design an artwork for a track.
By the end of 2015 I had set the goal of becoming a DJ and producer and for that the first thing you need is a logo, a design, something that represents you, so together with a designer, we created what was my initial logo ( logo that I do not currently use) after all this design process I decided to use instagram as a platform to "let me know" and to present my alias to society, and how do I try to make this alias known? I uploaded an image of the logo in one of my instagram accounts.

after uploading it I noticed that the instagram account of Armada Music had given the image of my logo, at that moment I felt like "WOW! they liked this" (and I must admit that the feeling was incredible), a couple of weeks after that I noticed that they had used my logo on the artwork of a track called "Hooya" by Sandro Silva and (S) haan, seeing this I felt very upset since I considered a lack of respect that these assumptions "giants" will take my design without even mentioning me (I also want to note that the track is garbage).
