This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors.

A lot of confusion exists across Wikipedia concerning the extent to which images (and particularly logos of companies, schools, and the like) can or cannot be used on Wikipedia. This essay will attempt to clear up any confusion by outlining the various classes of images usable on Wikipedia, and synthesizing the various standards that relate to the use of each – both legal standards and internal Wikipedia policies.
