[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Shiseido
Description	This is a logo for Shiseido.
Source	The logo is from the Shiseido website website.
Article	Shiseido
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 Shiseido, 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.

[edit] Licensing

This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos.

This tag must have an accompanying fair use rationale which must be unique to the usage of THIS image in each article in which it is used. You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded.

Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Shiseido
Description	This is a low resolution copy of a logo.
Source	Shiseido website
Article	Shiseido
Portion used	Complete logo.
Low resolution?	Yes.
Purpose of use	The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the brand named in the article. Use of the logo visually identifies the company and its products in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC. Used in Shiseido article.
Replaceable?	No free alternative of the logo is available.
Other information	The image is only a small portion of the commercial product. The use of the logo will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to sell their products or services. It illustrates educational articles about the organization represented by the logo. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value. A free image could not be created to replace it without itself being a derivative work. It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit. Its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder. This example is primarily used in the article/section relevant to the logo's subject, and used minimally. It is not used in a manner likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media; namely, it specifically illustrates the identifying logo of the company, just as intended by its creators.
