  Commons:Deletion requests/File:PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.svg

This file was nominated for deletion before, and it was kept. Things that are very simple can't be copyright unless you live on planet Australia-is-somehow-special where red and black rectangles with a yellow circle make a copyright Aboriginal flag which always gets deleted from commons because it's crazy. And google too.

I decided this page was too boring so here is a nice pic.

But what's with the Chinese government, why don't they fork out Yuan for decent artists ? This is like the Chinese space station, I saw their picture here and thought I can do a better job of that, remove the shadows on the solar panels from modules that aren't in the picture, and I did too. This logo is very simple. HA! maybe I should draw a better Winter Olympics logo too ? :D Penyulap ☏ 09:11, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

The word "PyeongChang 2018" is text, with a non-distinct font. The asterisk is a character of many languages, it is also a text. PD-textlogo therefore applies. It is also quite possible that the four rectangles form an abstract Korean-language character, which would mean that PD-textlogo applies to it as well, but even if not, PD-shape does apply because it's four simple rectangles forming a non-distinct form. As for the olympic rings themselves, they are already on Commons as PD. There is simply nothing copyrightable here. It's not our fault some people have trouble with the concept of "too simple", however their inability or refusal should not stand in the way of the truth. Fry1989 ^eh? 19:50, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Why has the TM logo next to 2018 been removed ? why have you performed a partial reproduction of the logo then ? Hektor (talk) 10:29, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

"TM" is not part of the logo, it is a courtesy symbol, just like © or ®, showing people the image has a trademark. It is completely irrelevant to the image, and trademarks are not incompatible with Commons licensing requirements. Fry1989 ^eh? 17:44, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

In general things don't need to be exact and precise, I think it's more like editing articles, you just need to make a reasonable description so that people have a good idea of what the picture is saying, so that they'd recognise it if they saw it. The smaller details are not so important, in my opinion, just the educational value. I think Korea makes lovely soaps, but crappy logos. Penyulap ☏ 19:09, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
