I'd say the logo looks lifted.

Even the three little sprigs on top of the head are identical.

I never noticed that.I had a world industries skateboard like 7 years ago.Do they still make them?

In the second illustration (not the actual deck) the proportions, ellipse eyes, smile with curves at either end, gloved hands and round feet are inarguably and inexplicably similar.

However if I had only seen the deck I would have said 'it's a simple design with generic cartoon features; it's just a coincidence.'

looks pretty much the same to me. doesnt look like a seed with a sprout coming out at all imo
