| Portion used |
As usual with logos the entire logo is used to identify the company being described, to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution. |
| Purpose of use |
Illustration of article on this defunct mass transit system |
| Replaceable? |
As a logo it is inherently not replaceable. |
| Other information |
Heralds are "logos" or "slogans" used by railroad companies and displayed on their equipment. Copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. In some cases, these things may be protected as trademarks.... However, copyright protection may be available for logo artwork that contains sufficient authorship. In some circumstances, an artistic logo may also be protected as a trademark." Excerpt from http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html Use of such images on Wikipedia arguably meets Fair Use requirements. Also note that this company is defunct and the logo is no longer used so trademark law may not apply, the original logo is probably too old to qualify for copyright, this reproduction is being placed into the public domain. |
