User:Kirilloparma tagged for speedy deletion as a copyright violation. I disagree, so I'm making this deletion request. I don't see how this exceeds COM:TOO; it's just text with some dirty scratches on it. IagoQnsi (talk) 23:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I should mention, Kirilloparma linked to this past DR in their original message: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Resident Evil 8 Village Logo.svg. I'm not an admin so I don't know how similar that image is to this one. I don't think adding scratches to some text makes it copyrightable; see File:Cyberpunk 2077 logo.svg as another text logo with lots of scratches and whatnot that was still denied copyright registration. --IagoQnsi (talk) 23:48, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 Info Category:Logos from Fangamer → This category recently created by IagoQnsi should also be fully reviewed as it contains many logos which can also exceed the threshold of originality (like this one, this one, this one, this one or this one for example). It is also worth noting that the country of origin of some logos in this category is not only United States, but also other countries where these logos may have a low threshold of originality than in the United States, and even a simple design may be copyrighted. IagoQnsi please note that per Commons policy, images must be free in both the United States and the country of origin (where it was first published). As for the case with this logo, I can say the following, Cyberpunk 2077 logo is free in the United States, but it's not clear if it's free in Poland (country of origin)? So I think this discussion can be definitely challenged. Regards Kirilloparma (talk) 00:42, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: My 2c is that logos with details on letterings such as these are above COM:TOO, unless we have evidence of specific cases where it is not (as in the cyber punk logo - they are not the same, one are outdents of the lettering, and one is lines on top of the letterings). Per COM:PRP and since this has already been deleted following a previous deletion request, this will need to be deleted. In order to argue for undeletion, the place is COM:UNDEL (no objection against such nomination). Other logos will need to be discussed seperatly from this DR. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 19:06, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
