[edit] Summary
| Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo for MSN | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Description |
This is a logo for MSN. |
||
| Source |
The logo may be obtained from MSN. |
||
| Article | |||
| Portion used |
The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
||
| Low resolution? |
|
||
| Purpose of use |
The image is used to identify the organization MSN, 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. |
||
Fair use also claimed for MSN Shopping and MSN Games. Those sites are part of MSN, so the logo is used for them too.

| Replaceable? |
No free alternative is available for this logo, as it is a corporate logo and trademarked by MSN Corporation, and any logo created that was based on it would be a derivative work. Simply put: It is not replaceable with a free-content image, as the logo is subject to trademark law. |
