[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Simmons College
Description	This is a logo owned by Simmons College for Simmons College. It is a historical logo. Its historical usage is as follows: For complete history of logo, see Simmons College Seal, part of the College Archives' Ruth Mitchell Wunderly scrapbook project..
Source	The logo is from the http://gslis.simmons.edu/podcasts/podcast_extras/2007/simmonslogo.png website.
Article	Simmons College
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 used to identify the organization Simmons College, 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.I had posted this image on the Simmons College article a year or two ago, and it remained there until someone replaced it with a photo of one of the school's buildings. It was then deleted by a robot as an unused copyrighted image. After investigating a selection of articles for 15 or so other universities, I have determined that in all cases the university logo rather than a photo is used in the right column info box. So I am re-uploading and swapping, and moving the photo lower in the article. This use of the logo should be considered fair use under Wikipedia guidelines. (If someone disagrees, they also need to change Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Syracuse, Maryland etc.)
Replaceable?	Logo is unique art, and a historically important part of Simmons College's graphic identity.
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.
