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 how ABC publicized the change in name from Blue Network to ABC, and precisely when this change took place; this, incidentally, is a date that is subject to much dispute.

Replaceable?

As the point being made in the article is how and when ABC publicized the name change, the point can hardly be made other than with a specific illustration of an advertisement showing exactly how it was done. The dating of ABC's change in name has been subject to much incorrect speculation, and this is a rare illustration of precise dating on the matter.

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.
