Summary

Many 7-inch US-distributed vinyl products were released with generic sleeves, either plain or company-made, as seen in eBay . While picture sleeves became common by the 1960s ( 45 RPM: The History, Heroes and Villains of a Pop Music Revolution by Jim Dawson and Steve Propes, p. 68), this product lacked a picture sleeve.

Licensing

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.

This logo image consists only of simple geometric shapes or text. It does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain . Although it is free of copyright restrictions, this image may still be subject to other restrictions . See WP:PD § Fonts and typefaces or Template talk:PD-textlogo for more information.
