Black Mirror (2011–2019) is a British
anthology television series created by
Charlie Brooker. Across its 22 standalone episodes and the
interactive filmBlack Mirror: Bandersnatch, it explores
science fiction technologies and
dystopias to make commentary on contemporary social issues. The series began on the British network
Channel 4 before being commissioned by the online streaming platform
Netflix. It garnered critical acclaim and, according to some commentators, led to a repopularisation of the anthology format.
Support: We've got the main article, the FL list of episodes, the FL list of awards, and all of the episodes and film at GA or better, and it's all tied together by a category and a navbox. My only comment is that some other image would probably be more illustrative than a photo of the series creator? I suppose we're wanting to avoid the fair-use title card of the show. There's also this
PD imitation image that someone has made; is that trademark infringement? Anyway, well done to all who contributed! -

@
Bryanrutherford0: I think that imitation is fair game—it is a little bit different to the actual logo (which could be ineligible for copyright, but I've been erring on the side that it is copyrighted), but I think it's an improvement. How does it look at its current size? And maybe I can get a more expert opinion on whether the original logo is PD somewhere. —

Yeah, I think that's a big improvement, if we think it passes legal and policy tests. -

Support - It is truly amazing to see that everything from this series has now become either a GA or FA. Great work! Some Dude From North Carolina (

Comment First, huge congraulations for the huge work on getting on these articles up to GA+. The only query I have is if that image being used in the topic is allowed? Is the spoof logo not any kind of copyright or trademark infringement? Not an image expert, but wanted to double check.

It's not a copyright violation because it's a very simple image and doesn't meet the
threshold of originality. And I think it can't be a trademark infringement because its purpose is the same as in a large number of GT/FTs e.g.
Chartjackers,
Doctor Who (season 1)—it's not using the (approximated) logo in a misleading way (e.g. to sell merchandise), just for educational/illustrative purposes. —

can I prod one of you to see if this is ready to promote? I'm selfishly hoping it can be promoted by the 29th for
WikiCup purposes. —

Sorry, we're in a bit of a limbo as the bot is being finished up for the promotion process. I can definitely get to this before the 29th; we have to manually update each page so I've been, heh, pushing it off...!
