Shouldn't this be deleted and replaced by File:F icon.svg, a higher quality (svg), free-image? Julián (reply) 21:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The two are not quite the same. The version on Wikinews will not be needed at any higher resolution (used in social bookmarks) and is taken directly from Facebook. --Brian McNeil / talk 14:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Even so, I don't see the use of Fair use where there is a free, better substitute. In any case, logo should be replaced for pd-ineligible, since it's just a blue background with a line and an F. Julián (reply) 23:05, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's really needed at a higher resolution, so there's no point really.    Tris   23:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC) (was Dottydotdot)
 * I added a see also link. I tend to agree with Brianmc and Dottydotdot that the bigger version is unneeded at the moment. Bawolff ☺☻ 23:51, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That's clearly in violation of Fair use. "When two images depict the same subject, and one image is free content and the other is not, use the free version, even if it is inferior in quality. Keep in mind that the goal of Wikinews is to create a free content news source that can be used by anyone for any purpose. Images under non-free licenses are an impediment to that goal."
 * Just saying... Besides, the higher resolution argument is irrelevant, since the svg file can be resized without losing any quality in the process. Julián (reply) 20:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If the use of the larger image results in slower page loads, then I am in favor or keeping the smaller one or transferring it to Commons under the same PD-ineligible license. Otherwise, I say we switch. --SVTCobra 22:07, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * MediaWiki will render the SVG as a JPG or GIF of appropriate size - most browsers don't currently support direct display of SVG. However, render the SVG to the same size as the icon lifted from the Facebook site and they are not the same. I also suspect moving the lower resolution version to Commons would simply result in deletion per the arguments put here that what someone thinks the Facebook logo should look like is good enough. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Can't we just assert PD-ineligible here, locally, then? That's should get around Julian's issue with the conflict in the fair-use policy. --SVTCobra 22:35, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I see no reason not to use PD-ineligible, other than this just gets it one step closer to round two where it moves to Commons, the "It's close enough to use someone else's this is how I would have done their logo if asked" argument will do the rounds, then it'll come back to bite us when they delete it, stick up an editprotected to replace with the SVG, and every single published Wikinews article has a broken image link on it. Leave it as-is and we'll be just fine. This is something to be pragmatic over, not ideological. --Brian McNeil / talk 22:49, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
