• It is a low-res version of the design.
• A free alternative is not available, since redrawing the design is no different than using the original.
• Use of this logo does not impede the ability of the copyright holder to profit.
• It has been previously published, on several widely available publications.
• The article discusses the design, so having an image of it adds to the article in an encyclopedic way.
