Summary
edit
| Description | This image contains a patch of the 1980s Harborplace logo on a shirt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harborplace |
|---|---|
| Author or copyright owner |
Unknown (logo design likely created internally by Rouse Company or their branding agency in the 1980s). |
| Source (WP:NFCC#4) | Original publication: First published publicly in Baltimore, Maryland, circa 1980 at the opening of the Harborplace development. Immediate source: Derived from a digital photograph of a physical patch owned by the uploader. The original source is the trademark owner |
| Date of publication | The logo was published in 1980 for Baltimore's Inner Harbor following the Harborplace project. The T shirt patch where the logo is on was likely made in the 2010s. |
| Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) | Harborplace |
| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | This image serves as the primary means of visual identification for the article topic, Harborplace. It significantly increases a reader's understanding of the subject by illustrating the brand's main logo, which text alone cannot convey. |
| Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1) |
No free equivalent exists or can be created. The image is of a copyrighted and trademarked corporate logo, which is protected intellectual property. Any derivative work or photograph of this specific design would also be non-free, making replacement impossible. |
| Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) | The use is minimal because we are only using a single, low-resolution file. This file will only be used in one article (Harborplace), and only as the primary means of visual identification in the infobox, not for decoration or in galleries. |
| Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2) |
I am confident that this use will not harm any commercial opportunities. Wikipedia's use is non-commercial and encyclopedic. The low resolution prevents commercial reproduction (e.g., creating counterfeit patches or merchandise), and the single use in the article's infobox does not compete with the original market role of the logo/brand itself. |
| Other information | This image captures the 1980 logo for Harborplace, which is currently not used anymore by the current owners, MCB Real Estate. |
