The Apple Desktop Bus icon.

[edit] Rationale

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Apple Desktop Bus
Description	This is a user drawn version of the ADB (Apple desktop bus) logo - which itself is copyright (or possibly a trademark?) - thus this is fair use rather than GFDL or something similar.
Source	User drawn
Article	Apple Desktop Bus
Portion used	Entire logo
Low resolution?	No - but logo itself is relatively simple and this is an inexact copy if the logo.
Purpose of use	To show the symbol of the bus in an article about the bus (Apple desktop bus). It is used in the article to identify the icon used to (in turn) identify the connector into which an ADB connector is plugged
Replaceable?	Not until the copyright of the logo expires. Any photo showing the same thing would have to be equally fair use.
Other information	We are not infringing on the copyright holders ability to make money through use of the symbol, since we are not selling computer hardware, and the hardware in question has been obsolete for quite some time.
