File:Genshin Impact logo.svg

While this file may not be copyrightable in the United States, the file may be copyrightable in China as they have a higher TOO. Since miHoYo is a Chinese company, it would mean that the logo would not be okay for Commons as files on Commons must be free in both the US and in the country of origin.

Hmmm, perhaps, but TOO actually links to the image of File:K2 sports logo.png with a note that it is protected in China but not US. So by the virtue of still being on the TOO page (and on Commons), I am not sure if we have to respect TOO for other countries? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 05:32, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

@Piotrus The country of origin for this logo is more than likely China, as miHoYo is a Chinese company. The K2 logo originates from US. Aasim 06:56, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

• Interesting. So it's the 'country of origin' issue? But why is K2 mentioned in the Chinese TOO case study then? If it is not important for us, it shouldn't be there. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 08:06, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

  @Piotrus Per Commons policy, images must be free in both the United States and the country of origin (where it was first published). Genshin Impact logo is free in the United States, but unlikely to be free in China since China has a lower threshold of originality than the United States, and even simple designs can be copyrighted in China. And since miHoYo is a Chinese company, the logo was more than likely first published inside China. Aasim 23:16, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

• You are right, except the issue is - is the logo really failing Chinese TOO? It is simple, but I agree Chinese TOO threshold is low. Shrug. I'd suggest keeping it, although if someone feels paranoid enough to invoke PP, shrug. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 05:47, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

  I think in terms of copyright it is best to err on the side of caution and delete it. This can be uploaded to other wikis as PD-ineligible-USonly. Aasim 01:51, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
