I find it hypocritical that User:Save Us 229 has

users edits on this issue makes little sense.
Zoso.svg was created by Freakofnurture (former admin) who uploaded it
to Commons as public domain. The validity of this license was disputed
in April of last year, but it appears that the image was kept [1] on
the basis that the four symbols themselves are older than dirt, that
the sequence in which they are arranged lacks sufficient creativity to
be copyrightable (amounts to no more than the sum of its parts), and
that the image depicts only the glyphs of the album title and not the
copyrighted cover art, so there was nothing to prevent him from
releasing it into the public domain.
What is the "logo" image you are referring to, and where did 229
remove it from? A user-box by any chance? :-P
