Applebee’s New Logo Close to Apple’s Logo

Few people, other than Michael Scott on “The Office,” like Applebee’s. Recognizing this, the company just redid its logo, and, well, it kind of looks like Apple’s logo.

Applebee’s Old Logo:
Applebees-Old-Logo

Applebee’s New Logo:
Applebees-New-Logo

Apple’s logo. The main similarity I see is in the font. A bit too close for comfort. Thoughts, Apple legal?
