Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion about whether PD-Textlogo is really applicable here. (The source from where the file was taken, is fully copyrighted). -- Túrelio (talk) 11:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- A bit of context for anyone reading this. I added this file, which is the logo of a recently created European political party. All other European political parties already have their respective logos on Commons (see here). I therefore had a look at the copyright information available for other logos and used the same one, out of consistency (see, for instance, here). The logo of the ESN does not seem markedly different from any of the other logos in terms of uniqueness or originality.
- I am admittedly not an expert in these matters, so I welcome the discussion and advice. My own impression is that it is very common for political parties to have their logos included here, and it would be surprising to have an exception just in this case. Conversely, if this logo was not included (for a good reason), then we might need to reconsider the inclusion of the logos of other political parties (which I would personally find unfortunate).
- At any rate, @Túrelio is right, the website of the ESN does read "Copyright © 2024 ESN Party - All Rights Reserved.", but then again so do the websites of all other European parties (EPP: "© EPP 2024. All Rights Reserved."; PES: "© 2024 The Party of European Socialists"; EGP: "© 2024 European Greens"; etc.). So I am not sure what the difference is here, but am happy to get input.

Delete. PD-textlogo only applies to logos which consist entirely of "simple geometric shapes or text", and the tree in this logo is not a simple geometric shape. The only other EU party logo which comes close in terms of complexity is ACRE (the lion), and that logo was freely licensed by the author. Omphalographer (talk) 18:27, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Omphalographer. But doesn't that feel a tad subjective? I mean, what about the logo of the European Green Party, or of the Part of the European Left?
- At any rate, if this was going to be the consensus, what would be the way forward, getting an email from the ESN saying they agree to the use of their logo on Wikimedia platforms? Julius Schwarz (talk) 19:38, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sadly, that would not be sufficient, as "for-Wikipedia-only"-licenses/permissions are not allowed. If not PD per se, it needs to be one of the COM:L-acceptable licenses. --Túrelio (talk) 19:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
