From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New York, Chicago & St. Louis Herald

Heralds are "logos" or "slogans" used by railroad companies and displayed on their equipment.

"Copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. In some cases, these things may be protected as trademarks. ... However, copyright protection may be available for logo artwork that contains sufficient authorship. In some circumstances, an artistic logo may also be protected as a trademark." Excerpt from http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html

[edit] Fair use in New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad

It is believed that this image qualifies under fair use because:

  • The image depicts the official corporate logo for the entity described by the article.
  • The image is being used for identification purposes
  • Use of a low-resolution, black and white version of the logo does not hamper or dilute the copyright holder's use of the original image.
  • No free alternatives are available
