Summary

[edit | edit source]
Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for International Game Developers Association
Description

This is the logo for International Game Developers Association.

Source

The logo is from the following website: http://www.igda.org/

Article

International Game Developers Association

Portion used

Logo and org abbreviation; name to right of this was cropped

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 International Game Developers Association, 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

Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above.
