They look the same to me:

Not the same but really close. Same source material, maybe.

Really? same notch, same fronds, same proportions. I see what you mean, the SS person added a squiggle and that's supposed to make it different? Or the IS person removed that squiggle and that makes it diffferent? I didn't look at date.

It's the same tree! Someone copied.

Maybe they bought a license to use the same clip art or photograph as a source image commercially?

I feel like I've seen that same palm tree a lot but I'm not a designer so really don't have a clue. How did you even notice they were so alike? Good eye!

Is this not worth reporting or has someone already done it?

Errr ... you spotted it, why don't you report it?

I was asking if it had already been reported and if it was worth reporting.
