[edit] 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

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.

[edit] Buttons

Please note that simply adding a button does not license your work in any way; you have to clearly state which license you use. One way of doing that is making the link point to the license, and having an explicit statement "This work is licensed under the .. license" under the work.

The following set of buttons were designed by http://www.amymade.com/ with the support of the Free Software Foundation and represents our official recommendation:

These buttons are in the public domain. Which color you use is your choice; we suggest red for music, black for science and software, and yellow for everything else.

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.

[edit] License description pages

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