TIL “The Dark Side of the Moon”’s cover is apparently public domain if you slapped the letters “CGI” on it Spanish

Some government employee made the “new logo” in the 90s for NCSA software (the Common Gateway Interface), and government work is public domain.

Just more evidence that big brother shall releaseth thee work and soul /s

It’s a prism. You can’t copyright just drawing a prism. (You could probably trademark it, but a trademark would only apply in a particular context.)

That reasoning would apply to tons of other logos too. Like “you cannot copyright a drawn apple with a piece bitten off”.

That's correct, you can not do such. Apple does not litigate its logo with copyright but in trademark disputes. Prepear and Georette are examples of this.

You too can create a logo of an apple with a piece bitten off. It's up to a court to decide if it's coming too close to the Apple trademark, most people want to just avoid that and settle amicably, but if you've got to the pocket change to fight it in court, you can argue that your bitten off apple isn't a trademark infringement.

If you find a company that isn't keen to defend their logo, you can totally get away with it. Apple is on the other end of the spectrum of being someone who will protect their trademarks to the bitter end. Jack Daniels and Disney are two more examples of companies that will legally punch a five dollar start up into a bloody mass over trademarks.

folkrav ,

ackhyually the rainbow isn’t a gradient and the cone of light is too bright so its totally different dude

Delusional ,

Actually the rainbow means gay and gay is bad. I heard from fox news.

Aatube OP ,

it's a vector recreation of this low-quality gif, which you can't really tell whether it was a gradient or not. but the colors are indeed kinda different and more accurate to an actual rainbow lol
