Little offtopic: The film credit title is also Se7en, so you just want to ignore the filmmaker's choice and the actual data? I don't know how the film credit titles are in your other examples. But even then there's an original title field for the film credit title.

I would look for some normal text, preferably a text written by the film makers, how the title is written. The credit block is a good candidate to decide the thing on the cover is a logo or a strangely spelled title. And for Seven you may actually be correct that the title is spelled 'Se7en' in normal text form by the film makers. But already 'Taxi 4' is different.

I think that these example are different from the logo 'titles'. Again I only have Se7en in my collection, but if it's something like this in the other example:
On the front cover: T4xi -> Title field
In the film credit and/or the original release title: Taxi 4 -> Original Title field

On topic: How can I know that T2 is a logo? It is typed in a normal font and no graphic figures surrounding it nor graphic figures within the two letters. The so called S of Superman is no doubt a logo. I think T2 isn't a logo but an abbreviation (like someone had pointed out earlier by the link to the T2 wikipedia page).

Although it's not specifically written in the rules I can live with the idea that logos aren't titles. The next question is what's a logo and what isn't?
What makes you so sure that T2 is a logo?

Since you haven't engaged in my argumentation, I will repeat it. And it may answer your question.

How would the film makers write the title in the context of a normal text? Would they write T2? I doubt it. But in some cases the credit block would be a good indicator.

Note: I do not say to take the title from the credit block. I say we should take it from the cover and take the credit block and other texts into account, specially those written by the film makers, to determine if the title is on the cover at all and if it features some fancy graphics how to spell it in normal text.

But that's the whole problem here. Person A says it's a logo -> no title, person B says it's an abbreviation that the distributor has used for DVD title. I can see both arguments. Frankly I don't care whether it's T2 or Terminator 2 because there's an original title field and a lock but this discussion hasn't been solved

I realize I'm in a minority (me and Surfeur against the world?), but to me a logo is not the same as a title. And that goes for T4XI, Se7en, Thir13en Ghosts and whatever, as well as T2. (...)

You and Surfeur are not alone. And I'm not sure about minority and majority in this case.

The only "majority" on this is the most vocal users on the forum and certainly not the majority of the users of DVDP. But it's the case with many retarted rules here that exist to please a small minority of vocal American users of DVDP... Anyway why would I care about those retarted "discussions", I don't use the database because of many of those non-sense rules...

As you've been the only one responding to my post:
It seems "w delta Z" is not right out. the contribution is since two or three days not available to vote and not accepted/declined. It looks as someone is getting an eye on.

And having thought about, if you compare it to the I Heart Huckabees example (another one impossible to enter), I now understand the logic of W Delta Z. I still don't like it, and still prefer WAZ (I believe a more informal title it was given because people didn't know how to say the title!) - in fact it's official website uses the address wazthemovie.com

If you can't vote on the submission and it's not accepted or declined - is it possible it's been withdrawn?
