Description: This is the Presidential Seal of East Texas A&M University
URL: https://www.tamuc.edu/brand-guidelines/other-logos/
Portion used: The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
Purpose of use: The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing East Texas A&M University, 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.
License: This is a logo of an academic institution and is likely protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of logos
• to illustrate the academic institution in question, • where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, • on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Logos.
Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor does it imply endorsement of Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation by the organization.
This image of a university's logo, seal, or crest may be subject to internal institutional restrictions, including a prohibition on use without permission from the administration or public relations department. These restrictions are not binding on anyone outside of the university.
Author/copyright holder's name: East Texas A&M University
Article to be used on/reason for upload: This seal would be place on the article for East Texas A&M University, replacing the image of the seal of Texas A&M University-Commerce, the previous name of the university.
