[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)
Description

This is a logo for Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series).

Source

The logo may be obtained from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series).

Article

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)

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 Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series), 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] Fair use rationale for Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Though the picture is subject to copyright it is covered by the fair use laws because:

  • It is low resolution
  • It is not being used on Wikipedia to make profit.
  • It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell, produce, or advertise the show in any way;
  • It is used to identify the subject of the article
  • It features an official logo representing the series, for which no uncopyrighted version is available.
