[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Starfish Television Network
Description	This is a logo for Starfish Television Network.
Source	The logo is from the http://www.starfishnetwork.org/ website.
Article	Starfish Television Network
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 Starfish Television Network, 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] Fair use rationale for StarfishTV

This logo is copyrighted; however, I feel that it is acceptable to display here under fair use because:

It improves the article by providing visual identification of the company in question, similar to a portrait of a person.
Unlike a personal portrait, however, no free equivalent is available or could be created, as logos and derivative works of them are always considered copyrighted.
The copy displayed here is of low resolution, so its use here does not allow for piracy.
It is being used here solely for informational purposes, not for commercial gain.
Its use here does not infringe upon the copyright holder's ability to use or profit from it.

[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.
