Vodafone logos and derivatives.

Vodafone Logo Italia 2018.png is an actual trademark which has not expired so it could be speedily deleted. @EugeneZelenko: . --Jarash (talk) 05:42, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep I think it falls under {{PD-textlogo}}. Trademarked things are not necessarily copyrighted. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:00, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jarash: , as I already explained on my talk page, Commons doesn't care about {{Trademarked}}.
@EugeneZelenko: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Vodafone 2017.svg disagrees with you. (seems I forgot to link that DR here?) - Alexis Jazz 15:02, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep On the following, they are standard fonts and are PD even in the UK:
File:Vodafone letters.png
File:Vodafone mclaren f1 logo.jpg
File:Vodafone McLaren Mercedes logo.png
 Neutral On the follow, the font is crillee but has been modified to have a line through it. This is similar to the EDGE decision but I'm not sure if this meets that bar or not. So neutral.
File:Vodafone 1984 logo.svg
 Delete On the rest. --Majora (talk) 23:38, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
File:Vodafone letters.png is a derivative of the logo with speechmark. (see history) File:Vodafone 1984 logo.svg seems slightly different from crillee but I'm not sure. - Alexis Jazz 21:52, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The crop removal of the copyrighted part of the logo (which actually has to be deleted off of the history) is fine. The text itself, is fine. Even in the UK. It is two parts of a whole. One part is copyrightable, the other isn't. As for the 1984 logo, I ran the text through a font recognizer. The font is crillee but has been altered to have a line through it. This is similar to the EDGE decision but not exact which is why I'm more neutral on that one.

The way I treat UK copyright is a multi-step process. 1) Are there graphics that would make it above the TOO even in the US? 2) If no graphics, is it a "normal" everyday font? 3) If it is a "normal" font, has it been altered in such a way that it would make it "customized"? If there are graphic, it isn't a normal font, or if the font has been customized, then a DR should be started as to whether or not the logo meets the "sweat of the brow" type TOO that the UK has. The 1984 logo has been customized but I'm on the fence as to whether or not the logo meets that threshold. --Majora (talk) 01:11, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Deleted: per nomination - UK has a very low ToO - kept the three suggested by Majora, those cases are indeed borderline. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:25, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
