Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for Tool (band)
Description

This is the logo for Tool (band).

Source

Source is the image archive by the "semi-official" fanpage t.d.n: wrench logo

Article

Tool (band)

Portion used

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

Low resolution?

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

Purpose of use

The image is used to identify the organization Tool (band), a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

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.

Other information

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

  1. It is a reduced resolution image of a very early band logo, which is not used anymore.
  2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights in any way.
  3. The image is itself a subject of discussion in the article, as it accompanies a citation by band member Keenan explaining the name of the band as "[...] a wrench." # The image on the cover is significant because it was made by a famous artist, Cam de Leon, according to Lowe Law agency's press release on http://www.lowelaw.com/articles/ entitled "Visual Artist Cam De Leon's Lawsuit Against Rock Band TOOL Allowed to Proceed", dating 2006, retrieved on 2007-06-15.
