The commercial containing the graphic is PD-no notice, so this should be PD if that is. Jay Cubby 02:06, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Validated Gluten-Free Safe Spots logo.png

Fails WP:NFCC#8, not needed to "identify the brand Gluten Intolerance Group", as another already fair use image is used for that purpose, specifically File:Logo for Gluten Intolerance Group.jpg. JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 15:58, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Commons. The design is below the threshold of originality in the United States (stylized "G" with shape and text are just like Best Western's "W" crown, shape and text). Tag with commons:Template:Trademarked and commons:Template:PD-textlogo.

Also fails WP:NFCC#8. It's not needed to "identify the brand Gluten Intolerance Group", as another already fair use image is used for that purpose (File:Logo for Gluten Intolerance Group.jpg). JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 15:59, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I had particularly wanted this image on the page since it appears on many thousands of products globally and would be the most recognizable logo, significantly more-so even than the logo for the parent organization. I'm very unfamiliar with image use policy here, so is there any recourse for keeping this? Could it make sense to keep only this image and remove the parent company logo? That seems like it might fit the goal of using one image to identify the organization, even if it technically represents only a smaller (but more well-known) part of the greater organization. -- Fyrael (talk) 17:25, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Generally it is recommended to use as few non-free images as possible in an article. This can definitely be kept if its the most recognizable one. In any case, I would be in support of that. JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 03:43, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Commons. The design is below the threshold of originality in the United States (stylized "c" and "g" with border and text are just like Best Western's "W" crown, border and text). Tag with commons:Template:Trademarked and commons:Template:PD-textlogo. TheFeds 03:38, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete from en-wiki and move to Wikimedia Commons I agree with TheFed that this logo, along with File:Logo for Gluten Intolerance Group.jpg, are below threshold of originality in the United States (the bar of threshold here is pretty high, which in effect exclude gradient effects from the copyright). In case of File:Gluten-Free Certification Organization mark.png, stylized fonts may be copyrighted in the countries where threshold of originality is very low like the UK, but because it was created in the US, TOO-UK rules cannot be apply. If both files already had free-equivalent SVG files at Commons (which isn't available yet), we could delete both PNG and JPG files. 2404:8000:1037:469:C0B0:45BD:488C:9C5A (talk) 00:07, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
