Of course they can. Plenty of letterform-based designs are copyrighted in
the United States.
If attorneys are confusing trademark and copyright
protection Wikimedia counsel should not imitate them.
I'm not imitating anyone, but thanks.
I hope you will understand why I choose not to ignore my understanding of
copyright law and defer instead to a Wikipedia article, no matter how
well-intentioned it is, and no matter how highly I respect Wikipedia as a
general-knowledge resource. Wikipedia is not an authority on what copyright
is, or on what is copyrightable.
Thank you.
Oh, no, thank *you*.
