[edit] Summary

This image was taken from http://www.diageobrands.com/brand_pages/kilkenny.htm. The URL is http://www.diageobrands.com/bottles/kilkenny.jpg (the link says 'bottles' despite the fact that this is a picture of a can).

I believe this qualifies under the definition of 'fair use' of product logos. SkepticVK 19:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Kilkenny (beer)
Description	This is a logo owned by Diageo, Inc. for Kilkenny beer. Further details: This image displays the Kilkenny logo on its beer can.
Source	The logo is from the http://www.diageobrands.com/brand_pages/kilkenny.htm website.
Article	Kilkenny (beer)
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 used to identify Kilkenny beer, a notable product or service. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the product or service, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about that product or service, and illustrate branding associations of the product or service 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.
