  • This Wikipedia article meets DYK requirements for length and recent creation. The hook is interesting and verified by the cited NY Times article (although it's behind a paywall and not viewable by readers lacking Times access). No copyvios detected. The logo consists only of simple geometric shapes and text, therefore does not meet the threshold of originality for copyright. QPQ done. Good to go.  JGHowes  talk 13:24, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
