Inscape (publisher)[edit]

(

)

... that video games publisher Inscape's founder Michael Nash chose the company's name "to focus on multimedia's capability to transport us to compelling inner landscapes"?

Comment: This is my 4th nomination.

No QPQ required. Article is fully supported by inline citations. Article is neutral enough. Sources seem to indicate article would pass WP:GNG. Hooked fact is supported by text which has a citation. Source used supports that text. Article reads as neutral enough. Plagiarism check here, here, here, here give no cause for concern. Hook appears to be properly formatted.
File:Inscape-logo.jpg lacks fair use rationale, which I believe is required for a logo. --LauraHale (talk) 00:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Fair use logo rationale required. --LauraHale (talk) 00:12, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Going by this section, I don't believe it falls under copyright law, as the logo is a combination of #2: "a sequence of letters or written words" and #3: "simple geometric shapes". I already added that tag to the image, as well as the trademark warning, so I think it should be okay? —Torchiest ^talk_edits 01:36, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Pretty much every logo I've seen has a fair use rationale on Wikipedia. If you don't feel one is needed, we can wait for a second opinion that agrees with you about its inclusion. Otherwise, I don't feel comfortable giving it the tick to go without one. --LauraHale (talk) 04:06, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

I've started a discussion here to get some more input on the question, which I think is actually pretty interesting. It seems like there is a threshold of creativity to meet in order to be copyrightable. It doesn't seem like the Inscape logo meets that threshold to me, but hopefully someone more knowledgeable on the subject will be able to provide some insight. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 11:16, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

It isn't necessarily a copyright issue here but a trademark issue. Seriously though, can you just put the tag in so we can get this good to go? Otherwise, this will languish for a long while on what is a relatively minor point. --LauraHale (talk) 11:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I've changed the tags on the image to non-free logo, with a FUR for this article. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 14:26, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Good to go.--LauraHale (talk) 20:10, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
