Quite the achievement when they seem to be based on different things. Both resemble a W, but the Aussie one looks like an apple and the British one looks like a shopping basket.

United Biscuits has always owned McVitie's (since McVitie and Price merged with another company to form UB in 1948), while they only bought Jacob's in 2004, decades after Cheddars and Mini Cheddars had launched. Since Cheddars are a cracker, they probably just decided it was a better fit.
