The nominated file was deleted as being a duplicate of File:Chromium Icon.png, so consider that the file in question now. This request wasn't listed (or at least it wasn't when I wrote this). See also Commons:Deletion requests/File:GoogleChrome.svg which involves the Chrome, not Chromium logo. I understand the license differences, but it's hard to imagine a simple color change merits it's own copyright. Rocket000 (talk) 12:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Delete There's a claim here that this image is available under creative commons attribution 2.5 because it comes from Chromium Developer Documentation. However, the claim is invalid. This logo is almost identical to the Google Chrome logo (see File:GoogleChromeLogo.png on Wikipedia). the only thing that's different is the colors. The image is essentially the same otherwise. This is a derivative work of the copyrighted original. Therefore, the claim of Chromium Developer Documentation is invalid, and this image is a copyright violation. Also see Commons:Deletion requests/File:ChromeIcon.png. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Check the Chromium Project Site policies (part of Google code web pages) [1] and see the legal notice about the concernings of the using of content. They (Google) are the original copyright owners of the content on those pages (but not linked external content, as specified in the notice), and they choosed to release it to the public domain using CC by 2.5 and in some cases, BSD licenses. There is no sense in claiming the logo being a "derivative work" just because the different colors on it: it was created by the same publisher, it's not a trademark (the browser from the project is just called Chromium) and it was donated to public domain on behalf of Google by the licenses stated before.

 Keep Same reason as stated above- they chose to release it to the public domain. please see [2](under the heading "Built by the web community") for an example of how they use it. This proves that it is not a derivative work, but more like a sister logo. Thanks, Airplaneman (talk) 00:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I don't want to comment on the legal side of the issue, however, the logo will be used at the where using the Chrome logo wouldn't be appropriate. Chrome and Chromium aren't the same thing and there is thus a need for a Chromium logo. If the legal side turns out that the Chromium logo isn't Free & Open the claim that Chromium (the software) is OSS would be severely damaged. Cheers. I might be wrong^^.

Unused bitmap image with vector version available. Leonel Sohns 14:06, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep Vector version is not identical, I might even argue it is inferior, due to the missing "shadows". XxakixX (talk) 14:37, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The identical vector version is File:Chromium Material Icon.svg. Leonel Sohns 11:51, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion, versions are not identical. --Ellywa (talk) 10:44, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
