Holy earthquake Batman!!!
Look at this rip!!!
Well as much as it does look like treetog design it would seem that if treetog DID design a bar like this it wouldn't look so ordinary. It would be far mor detailed.
This was my comment to him:
hmmmmmmmm..... I think it is ok. The idea is there for something but there could be more of something. It looks to simple maybe...
as for the rip... iddonnooo... it looks simular but and I think anybody could have come up with the sam colors and the back slash isn't something that anybody owns.
But an any case maybe you should take a look at NoOS by treetog. It looks simular but has more definition. If you put more definition to this design then maybe people won't say it is a rip of somebody else just because they uploaded it first.

As I said before, while it looks very simular it lack in so many places that it just doesn't fall in the catogory as a rip. I more falls into "ill, what is that, he must be new at this"
Not to totally undergrade his work but it deos need inprovement and personality. That is why I suggested to him to add more to it or define it more so it has a charater of it's own.
