[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Indiana's NewsCenter (Fort Wayne)
Description

This is a logo for Indiana's NewsCenter (Fort Wayne).
Source

The logo is from the http://www.indianasnewscenter.com/ website.
Article

Indiana's NewsCenter (Fort Wayne)
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 the brand Indiana's NewsCenter (Fort Wayne), a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the brand, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the brand, and illustrate the nature of the brand 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.

This is the logo for WISE-TV, a television station in Indiana. It is intended for use in the article about WISE-TV. The copyright for this image is owned by Granite Broadcasting.

This logo was also used, with slight modifications, by the station's predecessor WKJG-TV from 1998 to 2003.

[edit] Fair Use statement

I, Alexdw (talk · contribs), believe this image should be categorized under fair use in WISE-TV because:

  1. It serves to identify the station in question visually in a way prose cannot.
  2. It is widely distributed by the copyright holder for that purpose.
  3. As the value of the image is in the particular unique appearance which is copyrighted, no free alternative can be made.
  4. It is low resolution.
  5. The image is only being used for informational purposes.
