- Oh, what a stupid idea. Every child in China writes these letters. It's a newspaper logo, like we have hundreds, if not thousands, of them on Wikipedia. Just because you're unable to read it, is it art all of a sudden? Do what you want. I think my part.--Bestoernesto (talk) 05:28, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- A is A in English. But In Chinese calligraphy you can have two horizontal line instead of one or missing one or two (from three horizontal line to one for example). Also using the Latin characters terminology , there is way more optional "serifs" elements of Chinese characters. If it is a simple stock computer font it may be judged as borderline simple shape (but in fact most Chinese computer font including windows font are copyrighted and owneed by DynaComware), but in this logo in specific , it is clearly a Chinese calligraphy. Such logo should be upload to local wiki as fair use logo, but not simple shape PD logo. Matthew hk (talk) 18:28, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- http://www.cidianwang.com/shufa/ming2246_xs.htm Here is some example of the Chinese characters 明. Some of them are in public domain only because the author / artist are dead for centuries. Unless you can prove the two Chinese characters are exactly the same as these public domain fonts or very very large part of it as derived work , it is copyrighted.
