- Delete The SVG is not using a font for the characters, so I doubt this meets PD-textlogo. John Vandenberg (chat) 14:46, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Delete this isn't just words. It rips off text, an original font, colour scheme, sizes, placement and concept.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 14:47, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep According to COM:L#Fonts the rasterization of a font is not copyrightable, no mather how complicated the font is. See also Threshold of originality#United States. TheCuriousGnome (talk) 02:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- Which typeface is this? John Vandenberg (chat) 07:45, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
- It is typeface. Doesn't matter if it is a recognizable font, or completely custom. The letters are not copyrightable, period. The background on the other hand... Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:08, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

- The rasterization of a font is not copyrightable, in this particular case the font isn't really special, so this is not an issue. Question could arise whether the background has enough creativity to be copyrightable. I tend to say no. --PaterMcFly (talk) 16:30, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter if the font is "special" even. Typeface is not copyrightable. In the context of copying an entire font is only area where it gets risky. For a couple of example, this logo was denied copyright by the U.S. Copyright Office, and File:NY Arrows logo.png (custom, hand-written font) was ruled uncopyrightable by the courts. To me, the background is copyrightable though. Even just the arrangement of the stars or whatever those are in back is enough to qualify. On the other hand, that may have been original work by the uploader. How closely is this copying the frame of the movie? If this was a capture of the film, I'd say delete, but this is an SVG creation and not a straight copy, and odds are it is a separate expression of the same idea and not a derivative work. If the background stars are basically in the same exact places as the in movie... that is probably the one risky part to me, actually. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:15, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
