File deletion dispute edit

It's my understanding that the use of copyrighted logos and similar images uploaded onto Wikipedia should solely serve the purpose of identifying the subject of the article. I do not believe this file infringes on that. Also, the argument that was made when this file was proposed for deletion was that NASA's version of the mission insignia serves as a satisfactory free-media alternative. It does not. One only needs to use their eyes to see that NASA's insignia is radically different to Orbital's insignia. This poses a problem for those such as me, who are way more familiar with Orbital's insignias than NASA's insignias. As far as I'm aware, the only published source for NASA's insignias for the CRS flights comes from Collectspace. I could not find them on any NASA websites; not even the CRS subsite. Even the CRS subsite has articles decorated with the Orbital insignia as well. Orbital's version mostly appears on official documentation by Orbital ATK, such as the mission fact sheet published for the media, and their video presentation for the mission. The insignia, thus, also appears in some graphics and photographs of the mission, as republished by third party sites such as Spaceflight Now and NASAspaceflight. The NASA insignia is nowhere to be seen online other than Collectspace, hence the reason why I've uploaded it here, as a way to help identify the mission, since the NASA insignia alone fails to do that.
