Article

Blue Network

Portion used

This is the entire advertisement

Low resolution?

This is a low-resolution copy. It is somewhat unlikely that a high resolution copy, in any event, would be used to make derivative works, such as T-shirts, given the nature of the work in question

Purpose of use

The purpose of the advertisement is to illustrate a salient point in the article, namely that ABC, even 2 years after the change in official name from Blue Network to ABC, was still using the "Blue Network" name to promote its broacasts.

Replaceable?

This is a very rare and unusual advertisement, and the only one research turned up using the particular tagline. It would be difficult to find another advertisement showing this particular point, and it would only show up in this medium. The nature of the point being made, that ABC was using the line in advertisements, can hardly be illustrated otherwise than with an advertisement.

Other information It is worth noting that no corporate logos are used in the advertisement. It is also very clear that this was used for publicity purposes.
