Talk:Japanese Federation of the Deaf

Logo
The logo in the info box is reasonable. It is taken from the header for the JFD English language webpages. I wonder if this represents the best choice?

Some of the websites which inform this question are:
 * City of Yokohama, Health and Welfare Bureau: seahorse among disability icons (see 4th from top)?
 * 全日本ろうあ連盟のシンボルマーク、聴覚障害をあらわすマークです (All Japan Federation of Deaf symbol is the mark ...)


 * Japanese Federation of the Deaf: seahorse on JFD merchandise for sale; seahorse on JFD information materials; JFD Youth Division
 * Japanese Deaf Table Tennis Assocation: logo
 * Tokyo Federation of the Deaf: logo (see bottom of webpage)?
 * その中にあるタツノオトシゴは聴覚障害者を象徴 (Seahorses are a symbol ...)

There is nothing wrong with what is currently posted; but is there a better choice we should consider? --Tenmei (talk) 22:18, 13 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I just took the one from the website and edited it to be a single gif. I think a png file would be better but I was not using my PC with Inkscape on it. As far as the actual logo is concerned anything that is "official" would be fine I think. If I remember correctly in Nakamura's "Deaf in Japan" she mentions the logo at some point. Whichever one she specifically talks about would be a good choice I think. Colincbn (talk) 07:24, 14 September 2010 (UTC)


 * This Google books "snippet" is on-point:
 * "...according to legend, dragons have no ears and are deaf. The ears of the dragons fell into the ocean, where they became seahorses, which is not-so-coincidentally the mascot animal and logo of the Japanese Federation of the Deaf." <:ref>Nakamura, Karen. (2006). Deaf in Japan: Signing and the Politics of Identity, p. 38.
 * Colincbn -- Is this the citation you had in mind? --Tenmei (talk) 17:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think that is it. It does not specify exactly which version though. Just that the sea horse is the mascot and logo. I think it is an interesting enough fact to put into the body of the article however.
 * When I chose the logo I used the one from the website because it is easier to fill in the fair-use rational on the upload page if you can link to where the image comes from. I have had images deleted for lack of information before because of that. Colincbn (talk) 23:44, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
