 Keep This file consists of the text "World Championship Wrestling", above which is the text "W W", and both above and below each are two instances of stylised "C" in a "scythe" shape. This logo is entirely geometric, and in fact, I believe it could be easily constructed by a graphing calculator, or on paper simply using a ruler and a geometry compass. In fact, I believe the entire intention of the logo is to be as geometric as possible. The two instances of "W" are shaped to be as angular as possible. The entire logo, sans the text, is symmetrical (both horizontally and vertically), once again speaking to it's geometric design.
Given it's explicitly text + geometric design, it should be recognised as correctly being labelled Template:PD-textlogo + Template:Trademark CeltBrowne (talk) 15:58, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Letters look stylized to me, this looks more complex than mere geometric design. Abzeronow (talk) 20:01, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Letters look stylized to me
While the letters are W C W are somewhat unorthodox, both Ws are entirely geometric: They're simply very angular. The average person could and can replicate them perfectly simply using a ruler and pencil. The C could and can be replicated perfectly using a Compass.
Because these are easily replicated geometric shapes, they are are definitionally Template:PD-textlogo. A person could have no artistic ability at all and yet be able to perfectly replicate this logo using mathematics. CeltBrowne (talk) 21:28, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete The threshold of originality is not based on whether someone can easily recreate it, but how much creative effort went into creating it. Compared to the examples shown at COM:TOO US, this is easily far above the line. —holly {chat} 20:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
