I picked up a paper copy of this brochure and I'm very impressed with it. I think it will be useful at events and partnerships. My only gripe is that the jigsaw piece character looks old-fashioned and flat, but I'm told the Commons community themselves rejected alternatives.
Would it be a lot of work to create a localised version?

Hi Daria

I have read through this, and it looks very good indeed.  I think that a UK version could actually be pretty similar, except for some UK-specific examples and a global change from the spelling 'license' to 'licence'. (The former is very offputting to me as a UK reader)

Hi All, 

A new brochure about Wikimedia Commons has been produced. Designed to be a companion brochure to the Welcome to Wikipedia brochure, it covers what Commons is, how to upload files, how to use files, and the basics of free licenses - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Illustrating_Wikipedia_brochure.pdf

We would like to have a version printed in the UK as well. What are your thoughts on the content? Do you think we already have a brochure that does the job better?

Do let Stevie know (stevie.bentonwikimedia.org.uk) - we may even manage to get it ready for Wiki Loves Monuments in September!

Many thanks, 

Daria
