This logo has been uploaded to Commons numerous times before, all resulting in their eventual deletion. I do agree with some others that this logo is rather common property than a truly original work of art, although it is a pleasing arrangement of geometric shapes. However, there is no definitive proof that it meets the United States' threshold of originality. Other Windows logos such as those for Windows XP and 7 have gone through a similar fate of being uploaded here and then being deleted. It is not worth the risk.

If deleted, it could be easily rebuild (derivative work) from the black & white version.
I read somewhere that the copyrights for logos become more and more difficult to obtain with simple designs, due to the proliferation of modern means of production of them -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:11, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
