Description	The logo for Ordnance Survey, introduced in 2015, and revised slightly circa-2019 - 2020.
Author or copyright owner	Ordnance Survey ltd.
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/docs/legends/50k-raster-legend.pdf - Extracted from page 1.
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Ordnance Survey
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	to serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	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.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The image will be used as the primary means of identifying the article, in a resolution that is no higher than necessary.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The logo is used in a way to avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the owning organization.
