[edit] Fair Use Rationale

No free equivalent. A logo is a unique image and cannot be reproduced in a free manner.

Respect for commercial opportunities. Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media. Logo used as part of infobox where general company information is given, as it would be in most commercial publications.

Minimal usage. Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information. Only one logo is used.

Minimal extent of use. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement). This rule also applies to the copy in the Image: namespace. Image is of reasonably low resolution soas not to be easily reproduced.

Previous publication. Non-free content must have been published outside Wikipedia. Widely available on the company website.

Content. Non-free content meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. Logos are generally considered encyclopedia per WP:Logos.

Media-specific policy. The material meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. For example, images must meet Wikipedia:Image use policy. Meets criteria.

One-article minimum. Non-free content is used in at least one article. used in the Ashland Inc. article.

Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Logos are desirable to help identification of a company.

Restrictions on location. Non-free content is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace, subject to exemptions. (To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add to it; images are linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are a topic of discussion.) No gallery added.

Image description page. The image or media description page contains the following:

Attribution of the source of the material and, if different from the source, of the copyright holder. See: Wikipedia:Citing sources#When uploading an image. Image from the Ashland website.

A copyright tag that indicates which Wikipedia policy provision is claimed to permit the use. For a list of image copyright tags, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free content. Logo tag present.

The name of each article (a link to the articles is recommended as well) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language, and is relevant to each use. Used in the Ashland Inc. article.
