[edit]

I'd argue that most- if not all- of these cans cross the line into COM:PACKAGING-related copyright violation. However, I appreciate that the artwork visible on some is simple or minimal, so they may be on the edge, hence I've nominated them here rather than simply tagging as copyvio.

Note that even in some cases that might otherwise be "de minimis", the appearance of the can itself is clearly the subject and focus of interest, rather than simply something that happens to appear in the photo.

For me the same applies here: "Before taking and uploading the image I also asked myself if the object or the print could pass the threshold of originality. I (obviously) didn't think so. The can is just a cylinder. The paint largely is just purple with a few letters in it. The "FANTA" writing on the can is about as original as any other textlogo. The grapes themselves are very simple shapes done with a surprisingly low resolution. They are not great art that is worth protecting, but rather a bunch of simple shapes that are arranged in a simple way [...] Regarding the threshold of originality: Compare the design of the can in the image to Pepsi Mango. If not deleted by the hoster the artwork on the beverage cab can be found here. In my opinion there is a clear difference between the simple design (from my point of view PD level) and a more complex and artistic design of the can."
And this: "per s:Ets-Hokin v. Skyy Spirits, Inc.. The copyrightability of the label does not matter: "We need not, however, decide whether the label is copyrightable because Ets-Hokin's product shots are based on the bottle as a whole, not on the label. The whole point of the shots was to capture the bottle in its entirety.""

I'd like File:Fanta grape 325ml can-front PNr°0882.jpg to be withdrawn from consideration, as- regardless of the arguments above- I wouldn't have nominated it again if I'd been aware it had already been discussed and kept.
FWIW, that was definitely one of the cases closest the edge for me in the first place.
That said, whether or not your image should be kept for other reasons, I'm not 100% sure the case you mentioned is relevant here.
"Ets-Hokin's product shots are based on the bottle as a whole, not on the label. The whole point of the shots was to capture the bottle in its entirety".
The images I saw seem to confirm this.
However, with the various photos of Fanta cans (including yours?), it's fairly clear that the majority were taken to illustrate the (varying) label designs rather than the aesthetics and design of the otherwise generic can design itself.

Deleted: per nomination and COM:Packaging. Personal note: As an amateur artist, I am often amazed how people think it is very simple to make a graphic design. No, it is not. It is difficult, it is a complex skill. --Ellywa (talk) 16:14, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
