[edit] Summary

This is the Amdahl Corporation logo from the "good old days," prior to its buy-out by Fujitsu. The underlying logo, if covered by copyright, is copyright by Amdahl, now presumably Fujitsu. I obtained a black-and-white poorly digitized copy from the United States Patent & Trademark Office (application serial no. 73073906, registration no. 1072128; filed Jan. 12, 1976, registered Aug. 30, 1977, canceled Jan. 24, 1984):

I cleaned it up using a copy of the logo on a coffee cup as a specimen, and colorized it to my best recollection of the Amdahl Red color.

To the extent that my editorial changes have any copyright (a dubious proposition), I hereby disclaim any such copyright and place those changes in the public domain.

[edit] Licensing

This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos.

This tag must have an accompanying fair use rationale which must be unique to the usage of THIS image in each article in which it is used. You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded.

Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa.

Fair use justification:

17 U.S.C. § 107(1): non-commercial use to document historical usage of logo no longer in active use;

17 U.S.C. § 107(2): non-fictional work;

17 U.S.C. § 107(3): entirety of logo used, but that's necessary given context;

17 U.S.C. § 107(4): no effect on value of or market for the work. Note that trademark registration was canceled in 1984, indicating that the work is of little or no value in the estimation of the trademark/copyright holder.

I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide.

In case this is not legally possible,
