Free Use Rationale

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free logo true for Canadian Joint Operations Command
Description	This is the logo owned by Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada on behalf of the Minister of National Defence for Canadian Joint Operations Command.
Source	The logo is from the following website: http://reg.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=2361&ShowAll=1
Article	Canadian Joint Operations Command
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 Canadian Joint Operations Command, 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.
