Summary

[edit]
Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for WebChat Broadcasting System
Description

This is the logo for WebChat Broadcasting System. Further details: this logo was used prominently on the website from at least October 1997 (see here) until its merger with GO Network on 15 September 1999 (see here).
I found this while browsing through archived files of the site: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://images.wbs.net/wbs3/auto/* . /auto/ was the folder in which the core images were stored. I've looked at all the images that have "logo" and/or "wbs" in the filename, and this is the best version I could find. The others were either too small, or were rough around the edges because they were cut out sloppily.

Article

WebChat Broadcasting System

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 of 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 WebChat Broadcasting System, 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 non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. 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.
