Summary
editThis is the logo of the defunct Rhinoceros Party of Canada, I located it http://www.yorku.ca/ylife/2006/01-30/Ferron01202006.htm Historical variations existed, all seem to be based on Durer's woodcarving, as far as I can see. I believe this logo qualifies as "fair use" in the article Rhinoceros Party of Canada as
- No free equivalent exists or can be created. Organisational logos are necessarily copyrighted.
- The use respects commercial opportunities - the image quality, quite frankly, is crappy, and the logo has little if any value in itself.
- The logo is a minimal use. One cannot use less than the whole logo to represent the Party.
- The logo has been previously published. At the source where I obtained it, for instance, and in party leaflets, at least.
- The logo of a (formerly) registered political party in Canada, who received considerable press attention and in one election greater than 1% of the vote. It is encyclopaedic.
- The image is generally compatible with usual practices for images.
- The image is used in at least one article, Rhinoceros Party of Canada
- The logo is used to invoke the idea of the rhinoceros party and sell their brand. It is inherently designed to enhance a viewer's understanding of the Rhinocerous party in a way words cannot. This would be even more true if the Rhinocerous' were ever elected and allowed to implement illiteracy as Canada's third official language.
- THe image is only used in the article namespace.
- The legal ownership of the image is ambiguous - the Rhinocerous Party was dissolved, and ordered to turn it's assets over to the Receiver General of Canada. One would therefore expect the image to legally be the property of the Queen of Canada. The party's auditor, however, refused to do so, and the Crown neglected to pursue the matter. As such, the image may still be the property of the (nonexistent) Rhinocerous Party of Canada.
