:Fair use with permission is not allowed (see [http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-May/023760.html this] for explanation). Wikipedia policy does allow the fair use claim of '''a''' logo, but I am not sure of the policy regarding fair use claims for multiple logos/identifying marks. I suspect that if there is a significant amount of critical commentary on the history of the logo then a fair use claim could be postulated, but this is a gray area, and most veteran contributors tend to lean on the side of caution. You are probably better off discussing this issue at [[Wikipedia talk:Fair use]]. ˉˉ<sup>[[User:Anetode|'''anetode''']]</sup>[[User_talk:Anetode|╦╩]] 12:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC) |

::Transforming logos into free material is pretty much impossible, many of them don't ever even expire because of trademark law. There are legal provisions for their use, and I think that fair use applies here, but Wikipedia has its own policy that adds extra requirements. Again, I'm not sure what to suggest to you in this situation. You could try to draft a blanket fair use rationale for these logos and submit it for review at [[Wikipedia talk:Fair use]]. Be careful though, veteran Wikipedia contributors can be very pedantic, so you might want to brush up on [[WP:IUP]], [[WP:FU]](&[[WP:FUC]]), [[trademark law]], & [[fair use]] before you submit any proposal.

I saw an item on the news here in the Netherlands about the "panic" in Boston. At the very end they showed the LED board and I recognized it immediately. So I started searching for more news. Wikipedia had something about it (of course). I always correct typos on Wikipedia since I'm not yet confident enough to do large changes, even although you should be bold. |

Re: Question
Not unless the copyright for the logo has lapsed. Many images published between 1923 and 1963 (& all prior to 1923) are now in the public domain because no one renewed the copyright. However without explicit confirmation of copyright status, it's best to assume that all of these are fair use images as far as Wikipedia policy is concerned. Creating new versions of these old logos would constitute creating derivative works, this would also infringe on the original copyright. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 11:25, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
