The threshold of originality in Hong Kong is low.

Not that low, that e.g. File:HK08.svg would be protected. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 17:59, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hong Kong's copyrights law is based on the one in the UK, which the threshold of originality is very low, even this is copyrighted.--Billytanghh (talk) 01:53, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that example has design to the 'E' making it creative, while the one mentioned by me above is a standard font made in the the US I'd believe. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 20:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The issue seems to depend on if the font was stylised or not. Can a Chinese-speaking user weigh in on the issue? Does the font depicted in the logo look standard, or is it somehow stylised? --ShyAlpaca482 (talk) 22:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Only the Chinese character in the File:1069BF.png is not a standard character. Cypp0847 (talk) 07:19, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It all comes down to how complex each logo is, and they should be evaluated on a case by case basis. We may want to separate them into separate deletion requests if desired. Here is my take on these images (remember, TOO is low in Hong Kong):

Keep The following image is likely allowable and can probably be kept:

File:HK08.svg - Well-known font with the only element that requires any effort being the red colouring of the text.

Delete The following images are likely not allowable and should be deleted:

File:CMK Electrical Store logo.jpg - Only composed of characters written in standard fonts, but the bolded text, line dividing the top and bottom and different font sizes likely constitutes enough effort that it is copyrightable under "sweat of the brow."
File:Blue Logotype En.jpg - Same as above, only composed of standard fonts, but has elements requiring some effort like the colouring of the text, different font sizes and selective bolding of the text, which likely makes it copyrightable under "sweat of the brow."
File:1069BF.png - Demonstrated originality since it is a non-standard font.
File:Federation for the Stability of Hong Kong.svg - While it consists only of uncopyrightable/public-domain parts, it required a fair amount of effort to compile and is therefore copyrightable.
File:HKIB-logo 64cmx12cm RGB 300dpi-01.png - Same as the previous one, it required effort to create and is therefore copyrightable. --ShyAlpaca482 (talk) 19:20, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep File:Blue Logotype En.jpg File:CMK Electrical Store logo.jpg File:HK08.svg, simple texts.--RZuo (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@RZuo Please note that MTR logos are mostly deleted so I doubt CMK Electrical Store one can be legally kept. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:15, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The threshold of originality in Hong Kong is very low.

Billytanghh (talk) 20:18, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep File:Hsin Chong logo.png: Hsin Chong is a bankrupted company cease to exist, so its logo should falls into public domain. --Happytree9527 (talk) 18:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This logo is used since 2014, as ToO in Hong Kong is very low, it is still in copyright in Hong Kong until 2064, whatever the company is closed down or not.--Billytanghh (talk) 00:36, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File:HKRC logo 2-2-4-3-01.jpg is this a bad joke?

Keep File:LiveTheatre.jpg File:The Terrific 12 Logo.png, simple texts.--RZuo (talk) 21:27, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: most of them because they seem to be below the TOO even of the HK/UK variety (also probably old like the Red Cross logo), deleted only File:Hsin Chong logo.png because that one seems to be a (little) bit more complex than the others. --Rosenzweig τ 17:04, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
