The designs are differences. vs The design are differences.

Some examples from the web:

• The designs are laid down in the prophecy.
• The designs are in my office.
• It's not difficult to discern that there are differences.
• The designs are all under lock and key and I keep the patterns at my home...
• On the outer ring of the coin, the 12 stars surrounding the design are placed between the letters of the text LËTZEBUERG.
• And we can now start to compare the community of microbes and their genes and see if there are differences.
• For the design quotient of this film, I want you to be able to see this sequence... and then later on, when you see where Milton lives, see the dichotomy... the difference.
• Metabolism The metabolism is qualitatively similar in rats, mini-pigs, humans, cattle and pigs although quantitatively there are differences.
• This explains why there are differences; but they are, I believe, transitional differences.
• The first one, which has already been mentioned by Mr Medina, is a philosophical one, or rather an ontological one: beauty and aesthetics - meaning the design - are connected with the whole and not with an individual part.
• If those grounds concern only some of the designs contained in a multiple application, the Office shall refuse the application only in so far as those designs are concerned.
• Since the methodology and the criteria are essentially the same for the same project types under both sub-programmes, explicit reference to one of the sub-programmes are made only where there are differences.
• Mr President, broadly speaking, the report follows the same direction as the report that we are soon to discuss in the Committee on Social Affairs and Employment, although of course there are differences.
• We agree on the substance, it is only with regard to the legal interpretation that there are differences and a referral back to committee will not change those differences.
• When we're designing new products, services or businesses, the only time you'll know if they're any good, if the designs are good, is to see how they're used in the real world, in context.
• In the absence of other criteria for determining which designs are intended to be covered, the Office shall take the designs in the numerical order in which they are represented in accordance with Article 2(4).
• In the case of multiple applications, the products in which the designs are intended to be incorporated or to which they are intended to be applied must belong to the same class of the Locarno Classification (except in the case of ornamentation).
• When several designs other than ornamentation are combined in a multiple application, the application shall be divided if the products in which the designs are intended to be incorporated or to which they are intended to be applied belong to more than one class of the Locarno Classification.
• Some key parts of the building had to be demolished and reconstructed because the engineering company based in India, responsible for the design, was not aware of the big temperature differences between Finnish winter and summer.
• in the case of a multiple application, the products in which the designs are intended to be incorporated or to which they are intended to be applied belong to more than one class of the Locarno classification.
