This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or copyrighted logo. If non-free content restrictions apply, this image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. Due to the difficulty of creating an SVG logo that meets Wikipedia's non-free content criteria it is generally not advisable to create original vector versions of logos. See Wikipedia:Logos. |
Summary
| Non-free use media rationale - non-free logo for Massachusetts Institute of Technology | |
|---|---|
| Description |
This is a logo owned by Massachusetts Institute of Technology for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
| Source |
The logo may be obtained from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
This is an SVG image. In terms information content, the resolution is very low, about 20 x 12 pixels, and (at less than twice as many bytes) the file size reflects this. It is presented in the article at an appropriate size and resolution. |
| Purpose of use |
The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 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. |
