The squares of the six polyominoes depicted below are either filled or empty. What logic was used to determine whether a square filled?

I guess I must be as lost as everyone else here.  I thought my idea might be on the right track, but that would be too easy.  I'm not even sure what we are trying to solve here anymore.  I've never seen a polyominoe puzzle before...are there some rules that I should brush up on?
