[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for The City School (Sheffield)
Description

This is a logo for The City School (Sheffield).

Source

The logo is from the http://www.thecityschool.plus.com/ website.

Article

The City School (Sheffield)

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 The City School (Sheffield), 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

A well-written use rationale must explain how the use of this media meets the Non-free content criteria and should state:

   * What proportion of the copyrighted work is used and to what degree does it compete with the copyright holder's usage? For example, if the image is a photograph or logo, the entire work is likely being used. 

Logo - 100%

A screenshot that reveals the most important discovery of a documentary or the ending of a movie, for example, though a very small portion of the work, may disproportionately compete with the copyright holder's use. In the case of a music sample, the length should be no longer than 10 percent of the song's original length or 30 seconds, whichever is shorter.

Not applicable

   * If applicable, has the resolution been reduced from the original? 

Yes, the resolution has been reduced from the original.

   In the case of music samples, has the quality been reduced from the original?

Not applicable

   * What purpose does the image serve in the article? If applicable:
         o Is the image a logo, photograph, or box art for the main subject of the article?

Yes, the logo represents the main subject of the article.

         o Is the image being used as the primary means of visual identification of the subject or topic? (e.g., a corporate logo or the box art of a DVD)

Yes, the image being used as the primary means of visual identification of the subject.

         o Does it illustrate the topic of the article? (e.g., a screen shot from a movie)

Yes, it does illustrate the topic of the article

         o Is it used for commentary on a particular topic? How?

Yes, it is used for commentary on a particular topic; the fact that the new City School maintained the logo of the no longer existent City Grammar School with no reference to the preceding STPC, also disussed in the article.

   * To what degree is the image replaceable by a free content image?

There is no equivalent free content to a logo of this type.

         o If the image is a screenshot of a movie that for an article about the movie, or a corporate logo, there is obviously no such thing as a "free" version of it - all of the resources in the world could not produce one. If, on the other hand, the image is a photograph, the image is more easily replaced, even if Wikipedians may lack the resources to create a replacement.
   * Any other information necessary to assist others in determining whether the use of this image qualifies for fair use.
