[edit] Summary

This image was scanned from a label in my own private collection. This label design has been out of use for at least 23 years. It contains the logo of a company which no longer exists.

[edit] Non-free use rationale

This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the image and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Tooth and Co.
Description	Former logo of the beer brand KB lager.
Source	This image was scanned from a label in private collection of User:Anothermelbournite.
Article	Tooth and Co.
Portion used	Whole logo used to avoid misrepresenting brand image.
Low resolution?	Logo was selected in order to maintain the quality intended, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
Purpose of use	Aids identification and critical commentary in the Tooth and Co. article, a subject of public interest. The logo aids in confirming to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the intended branding message. Image is relevant to the article and of sufficient notability (relative to the article's topic).
Replaceable?	Logo is protected by copyright and trademark, therefore a free use alternative won't exist.
Other information	This logo/label has been out of use for about 23 years.
