[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Lewisville High School
Description

This is a logo for Lewisville High School.
Source

The logo is from the http://lhs.lisd.net/ website.
Article

Lewisville 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 Lewisville 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] Rationale

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

  1. it is a logo of a public high school with a wide influence;
  2. the logo is only being used to identify the school in question;
  3. its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it represents the subject of this article.
  4. the inclusion of this logo does not prevent or reduce the copyright holder's ability to utilize their rights.
  5. the resolution is low due to copying and compression, so it does not substitute for the holder's original works.

[edit] Copyright

The image, along with the content of the web site, is Copyright Lewisville Independent School District.
