The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

To represent an historical organisations 'official' image, prior to a specific date, through a badge or patch used by that organisation.

Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

Though this image may be subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

1. It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the logo 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 logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
5. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
6. It is the logo of a government agency;
7. Logo is illustrating the agency at issue in an encyclopedia article;
8. No money or profit is involved;
9. Use should be governed by fair use;
10. The agency illustrated is defunct and its logo is of historical value only.
