File:The Penguin (TV series) logo.jpg

[edit]

This file was initially tagged by Graeme Bartlett as Speedy (speedy) and the most recent rationale was: copyvio
Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion. -- Túrelio (talk) 10:12, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK my argument to delete is that the background behind the letters is not just simple red colour, but some image that is too complex to be public domain. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:30, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep PD-textlogo below the US threshold of originality. Was undeleted once before as such, and this is now the second time this was speedy-nominated. Textlogos are very hard to copyright in the US, see this [1] for an example. CandyScythe (talk) 01:36, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"As a general rule, typeface, typefont, lettering, calligraphy, and typographic ornamentation are not registrable. ... This is true regardless of how novel and creative the shape and form of the typeface characters may be. Compendium (Third) § 906.4 CandyScythe (talk) 01:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ping @Mdaniels5757, @Yann and @185.172.241.184 who were involved before. CandyScythe (talk) 02:16, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is not the typeface, it is the image in the background, that looks like distressed metal. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:55, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Its a pretty typical "weathered-and-worn" text effect. And as it says in the Compendium: “mere use of text effects (including chalk, popup papercraft, neon, beer glass, spooky-fog, and weathered-and worn [effects]), while potentially separable, is de minimis and not sufficient to support a registration.” CandyScythe (talk) 05:24, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep as PD-textlogo per CandyScythe. The "weathered-and-worn" text effect is not sufficient to attract copyright. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:31, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also note that w:en:File:The Penguin (TV series) logo.jpg should be updated by the closer whether this is deleted or kept. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Watchlisted this discussion for that eventuality. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 18:23, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep Below TOO. Jonteemil (talk) 01:12, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: per discussion. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 06:24, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
