Our Logo page provides information and rationale for uploading and displaying logo images, the use of which on this wiki might be construed by the viewer as a copyright or trademark infringement. Logos include Organizational Logos (.org), Commercial Logos (.com etc.), and other Logos (groups, blogs, forums, ...).

See Wikipedia:Logos for a complete discussion of the issues and resolutions regarding the display of logos in an encyclopedia application. Not all of the rationale will apply to this wiki, as we are not an encyclopedia or a research project, but we are a not-for-profit, educational site.
