[edit] Summary

Coat of arms of Canada. Converted to PNG by Fibonacci and then converted to svg by Zscout370.

[edit] Licensing

The present design of the arms of Canada was drawn by Mrs. Cathy Bursey-Sabourin, Fraser Herald at the Canadian Heraldic Authority, office of the Governor General of Canada, and faithfully depicts the arms described in the words of the Royal Proclamation dated November 21, 1921. The present design was approved in 1994.

This image is copyright © 1994, Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada [1] and is held under Canadian Crown Copyright. In addition, the Trade Marks Act, chapter T-13, Revised Statutes of 1985 (sect. 9), protects the Arms of Canada against unauthorized commercial use [2].

[edit] Fair use for Canada

I, Jeff3000, feel this image is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it illustrates an article about Canada, which the logo represents
2. it is not being used for commercial use, which is against the terms of use
3. the image is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it portrays the official symbol of the principle subject of this article. Jeff3000 01:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use for Monarchy of Canada

1. it illustrates an article about the Monarchy of Canada, which the logo represents
2. it is not being used for commercial use, which is against the terms of use
3. the image is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it portrays the official symbol of the principle subject of this article.

[edit] Fair use claimed for Coat of arms of Canada

1. the image is included in an article about the history and graphical design of the arms (the logo itself)
2. it is not being used for commercial use
3. the article would suffer substantially without the image of the complete achievement of arms

[edit] Fair Use Rationale for National symbols of Canada

1. This a rendition of a significant object.
2. The material is not used in a manner that would likely replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media.
3. No free equivalent is currently available or could be created that would adequately give the same information.
4. The image is of low resolution, which does not interfere with commercial distribution of higher-quality images.
5. The image used for educational and informational purposes by Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization.
