[edit] Summary

File downloaded from Hata Town's official website (http://www.town.hata.nagano.jp/). Copyright holder is Hata Town (2006) I believe that this falls under fair use due to this symbol is used by the town to represent the town (I.e. town seal or logo) and will be used on a Wikipedia article about the town of Hata for educational and informational use only. The symbol is used in the main article as referenced and was sized small as to make it unsuitable for use outside of Wikipedia in counterfeiting it.

[edit] Fair use rationale

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Hata, Nagano
Description

This is a logo for Hata, Nagano.

Source

http://www.town.hata.nagano.jp

Article

Hata, Nagano

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 Hata, Nagano, 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.
