| Description | This is a logo owned by Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom for Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is a historical logo. Its historical usage is as follows: This is a royal badge, the legal status of which is discussed here. The history and status of the badge are discussed here; it dates from the fourteenth century.. |
| Source | The logo is from the http://www.parliament.uk/ website. |
| Article | Parliament of the United Kingdom |
| Portion used | The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| 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 placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing Parliament of the United Kingdom, 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 logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. 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 | Note exchange of colour from the source website. This is a heraldic device; as such, it is protected under special United Kingdom legislation for heraldry, rather than copyright or trademark. |
