This image, Elseworld.jpg, is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I (GentlemanGhost talk) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights;
  2. It is properly displayed to represent the Elseworlds imprint.
  3. Being previously published, it does not indicate the company's endorsement of Wikipedia.
  4. The appropriate page [i.e. this page] includes a copyright notice and a fair use rationale.
  5. It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the logo represents.
  6. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
  7. It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
  8. The logo is not used in such a way the a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
  9. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
