This image shows a logo of a company or product and is thus copyrighted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution logos for identification purposes on a non-commercial website may qualify as FAIR USE under the United States copyright laws. The use of high-resolution logos as well as the use of the logo for other than identification purposes may (and probably will) be copyright infrigement. Copyright: Copyright Owner Reason for claiming Fair Use: Reason for claiming Fair Use Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by WikiAir, nor does it imply endorsement of WikiAir by the organization.

Explanation

US copyright laws allow the usage of company or product logos for educational or identification purposes as well as reviews.
It has to be stressed that the logos may only be used in a low web-resolution. The usage of high-resolution logos will be copyright infringement!
Fair Use will only apply if no free alternative is available. Also, reasons for claiming Fair Use must be given.
If you feel a copyrighted image used claiming Fair Use does not qualify as such, please post a message on the talk page or replace this tag with a suiting one.
