1985 Coke Can PWN!
Rejected because: Coca-Cola has the shape of their bottle copyrighted. And that shade of red. I'm not kidding.

maybe just on a can? That is pretty odd to me.
What's odder is that coke has copyrighted a colour, but apparently not that big iconic "C", as proved by Consumerism. Or did woot get slapped by their lawyers and that led to this?

*giggles*, thanks. Who knew that a bottle shape and color could be copyrighted? If only I had dragged the pen tool handles out a liiiiiiiiitle further when I was creating that bottle... *sigh*

That's ridiculous. So hypothetically, could someone copyright every color?

perhaps the copyright only extends to that red on that kind of bottle or can?
