Purpose of use

Identification and critical commentary in the KMSU article, a subject of public interest. The logo confirms to readers they have reached the correct article, and illustrates the intended branding message.

Replaceable?

Logo is protected by copyright and trademark, therefore a free use alternative won't exist.

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the logo represents. 2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic. 3. It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods. 4. The logo is not used in such a way the a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo. 5. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
