[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School
Description

This is a logo for Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.

Source

The logo is from the http://newts.org/gallery/albums.php website.

Article

Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School

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 Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, 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

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, 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 that 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.

All of these criteria apply to the article, since the article is about the school whose logo I uploaded
