Just the opposite I believe. Merely having created something ("sweat of the brow") is enough in the UK, but does not suffice in Germany.

You're right. This misunderstanding was pointed out to me later. "Sweat of the brow" is not applied in Germany, it is other countries such as the U.K. that make use of it.
The German thinking is explained in Template:Logo-Germany ( http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Logo-Germany ). The template was however created only a few days ago, and is now listed for deletion.
