Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for 2012 Summer Olympics
Description	This is the logo owned by International Olympic Committee for 2012 Summer Olympics.
Source	http://www.london2012.com/documents/oda-planning/planning-update-stadium-and-aquatics.pdf
Article	2012 Summer Olympics
Portion used	The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Low resolution?	This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or a copyright-protected logo, seal or computer icon. This image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. The default rendering of this image 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 placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing 2012 Summer Olympics, 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, so a free image is impossible without written permission. Furthermore, ‘written permission’ is impossible to be given, the 1981 Narobi Treaty prohibits usage of IOC IP under any circumstances, and has been under effect for 45 years. Furthermore, the IOC is known to be highly litigious, they prohibit their own athletes for thanking non sponsor companies, they went after relatively small businesses with arguably little to no money, etc. This is sufficient evidence that a free image would be prohibitively difficult.
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.
