Listen, I don't want to start an edit war, but I don't understand why the proper logo isn't being used in the article. Look at the logos from schools like Upenn, Yale, University of Chicago, etc. and you'll see that they all use the crest from their school and not some symbol or special font with the name as is the case currently at the Emory article. They all have a legitimate fair use claim for the crest and whether the symbol is widely used in documentation is not an issue. The University crest is supposed to be used for all University articles on Wikipedia and it falls under fair use. Emory's statement as to usage on their page doesn't matter. Coca-Cola probably doesn't give us permission to use their logo but we do legally under a fair use claim anyway. Emory isn't special and we should use the same format all other schools abide by on Wikipedia. Nrbelex(talk)06:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
What makes you think the crest is the proper logo? It's not what appears on university correspondence or the web site -- or anything, really. Selecting a logo merely because it's more like the logos used in other similar Wikipedia articles is a bizarre way to select the proper image. The logos we use in all the other articles you list above are the logos that those organizations actually use.
So, if you believe the correct image for this article is the crest, which has been all but phased out by the organization it represents, I'd really like to hear why. "It's more like the logos used on other university articles" isn't terribly persuasive. Georgia State University's logo looks little like the crests you described above. The University of Georgia also has a simple line drawing with no traditional shield and motto. Perhaps you have made an unwarranted assumption about university logos and how they should appear based on an insufficiently large sample of schools. —ptk✰fgs19:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
