Summary edit
| Description |
This is the logo for Metropolitan Basketball Association. |
|---|---|
| Source | |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or a copyright-protected logo, seal or computer icon. This image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. The default rendering of this image 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 used to identify the organization Metropolitan Basketball Association, 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. |
| 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 useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Metropolitan Basketball Association//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MBAlogo.svgtrue | |
Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
- The image is only being used for informational purposes.
- The image adds significantly to the Metropolitan Basketball Association article because it is used to identify the subject of the article.
- No free equivalent is available or could be created since this is a copyrighted logo.
