Description

This is the logo for Hornby Railways. Further details:
This logo was used from 1978 to 1996, and can still be found widely on second-hand merchandise. The current company logo is similar, but drops the word "Railways". In addition to its informational value, showing the logo therefore also has significant identificatory value, in helping readers who wish to distinguish products from different time-periods.

Article

Hornby Railways

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 used to identify the brand Hornby Railways, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the brand, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the brand, and illustrate the nature of the brand 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.
