Logos and buttons

Official logo

The official logo of the Definition of Free Cultural Works was designed by Marc Falzon, and placed in the public domain:

An SVG copy can be found here (it will not load correctly in Firefox, but has been tested in Inkscape.)

The logo represents both the diversity of human culture, and the openness and freedom to interact with free cultural works. Please feel free to create derivatives of this logo, and upload them to this wiki.

Buttons

Most importantly, we are trying to create convenient buttons for all Free Culture Licenses which meet the criteria of the definition. These buttons can be used to "tag" works. Furthermore, instead of linking only to a copy of the license using these buttons, you can link to a page on this site which explains and refers to the license, but also explains our definition of freedom! This will help us to build a community that cares about freedom.

Examples

These are just first drafts of how such buttons could look. If you want to work with these templates, you can download buttons.svg and edit it in Inkscape.

Slightly different style:

Again a different style - contributed by Jörg Petri:

These are my attempts at using the above design. The svg versions (Media:CC-BY-SA.svg, Media:GNU FDL.svg) do not display well online. They where created using inkscape, and the SVG hasn't been cleaned up. But the blank might can be used to generate more buttons.

License description pages

For each license, we will try to create a description page. Here are some examples:

• Licenses/CC-BY-SA-2.5 - Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 2.5
• Licenses/GNU GPL 2 - GNU General Public License 2
• Licenses/GNU FDL 1.2 - GNU Free Documentation License 1.2
• Public domain
