Summary

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for Black Panther Party
Description	This is the logo owned by Black Panther Party for Black Panther Party.
Source	http://www.blackpanther.org/
Article	Black Panther Party
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 Black Panther Party, 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.
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.
Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Black Panther Party//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Black_Panther_Party_(emblem).pngtrue

Further information

It is said in an email conversation by Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement, this logo was drawn by Ruth Howard Chambers. The Lowndes County black panther was an exact copy traced by Ruth Howard of the Clark College (now Clark Atlanta University) panther, the mascot of its athletic teams and was admittedly "cleaned up" by Dorothy Zellner^[1] under the instruction of Stokely Carmichael.

Used with permission from Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and introduced to Huey Newton and Bobby Seale of the Black Panther Party by Mark Comfort of the Oakland Direct Action Committee.^[2]
