[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Sydney Storm
Description

This is a logo for Sydney Storm.

Source

The logo may be obtained from Sydney Storm.

Article

Sydney Storm

Portion used

The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution?

The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use

The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing Sydney Storm, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Other information Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.

[edit] Licensing

[edit] Fair use rationale

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It is a low resolution copy of a logo.
  2. The image is only a small portion of the commercial product.
  3. The use of the logo will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to sell their products or services.
  4. It illustrates educational articles about the organization represented by the logo.
  5. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of topics in the article.
  6. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value. A free image could not be created to replace it without itself being a derivative work.
