1. The logo is not being used in a manner that would imply endorsement by or for the logo's respective company
2. No free equivalent will ever be available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
3. The logo image is of low resolution, which does not interfere with use of this logo by its respective company in trade
4. The image used for educational and informational purposes by Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization
5. The image is the single consistent visual representation of the article's subject; it identifies and describes People Records in a way that words cannot

If this rationale is not adequate, please tell me specifically what is wrong with it before moving to delete the file and I will try to improve it. Or feel free to fix it yourself. InnocuousPseudonym 21:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
