Fair use in US Colomiers[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It illustrates educational articles about the entity that the logotype represents.
2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
3. It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
4. The logotype is not used in such a way the a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logotype.
5. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
