Logos
In relation to the above, as that all sounds very formal, Wikipedia can only use copyrighted images are strict fair use conditions. In this case, it appears that you have, in good faith, modified an existing image to show the logo. However, the logo itself is likely to be copyrighted, as it involves more than just text and a typeface, and you can't then release the image under a CC license. Most of this is explained over at Logos, where there's material explaining how and wen you can use logos in articles under fair use conditions. - Bilby (talk) 08:23, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I've also nominated File:Arboracres.jpg, File:Lohmannlogo.jpg and File:Shaver.jpg under the same grounds. - Bilby (talk) 12:10, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
