The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

The image is used to identify the organization Ohio State University Men's Glee Club, 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.

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. While it is possible the logo is in the public domain due to its age, its origin cannot be ascertained, and there are no known alternatives.

At least the last three generations of group members, as well as everybody who has come in contact with the group, will thus recognize this historic logo as the main (and to them, only) identification of the group. It was integral in building the reputation of the group, and its use on the page speaks to the validity of the page’s content. Since the adoption of the new logo was relatively recent, that historic logo is still essentially synonymous with the group. Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia's non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law. The author of the photograph, William Huber, is not the creator of the logo and does not hold the copyright for the content of the photo. His permission is on file to use this photograph, but since its contents do not belong to him, the contents of the photograph (namely, the logo) is being claimed here as fair use.
