[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for ITT Corporation
Description	This is a logo for ITT Corporation.
Source	The logo may be obtained from ITT Corporation.
Article	ITT Corporation
Portion used	The entire logo is used 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	The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing ITT Corporation, 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 logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. 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.

The image will be used for identification and/or critical commentary in the ITT article and other related articles.
The use is purely for non-profit reasons, and to educate users on the company in question.
It is a low resolution and/or poor quality version of the company's logo, making it unusable for reproduction.
Its use does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell or market the company or related products in any way.
The logo is freely available online; its appearance on Wikipedia does not make it more freely available.
As an official logo of a company, there is no known free alternative available. If a free alternative is found, this image should be nominated for deletion as obsolete.

I'm not really sure how much more I can add than what is above. The image used is that of the corporate logo of ITT. This article is about ITT. It is low resolution, not for commercial use, it is all over the internet, and what other image could we use for an article on ITT? I think these seem like fairly compelling reasons to permit its use. Obviously, this is just my opinion. ButtonwoodTree (talk) 14:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
