Non-free media rationale for Bids for the 2008 Summer Olympics
Article	Bids for the 2008 Summer Olympics
Purpose of use	The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing the Bids for the 2008 Summer Olympics, a subject of public interest, as well as on a list of Candidate cities. The significance of the logo is to help the reader visually identify the campaign, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing encyclopedic commentary about the subject, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product. The image is only used twice. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy. The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article. The image is only used in the article namespace. The image has a brief description that identifies the image, notes the source, and provides attribution to the copyright holder.
Replaceable?	Because it is a copyrighted logo, there is 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.
