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.

To the uploader:

This tag is only for use on images of logos.
This tag is not sufficient on its own. Please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For an example fair use rationale for a logo, see here.
Template:Non-free use rationale logo may be helpful for stating the rationale.
Please do not use this template to tag non-free icons of computer software. Such items should be tagged with {{Non-free computer icon}} template.

Regarding uses other than in the original article:

A detailed non-free use rationale is required for every article the logo is used in. Check the non-free use criteria and do not assume that existing rationales can be simply copied and pasted, as they may not necessarily apply.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an 'appropriate' rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.
