: I've always thought that downloading the image was the more sure fire way to get it, given that you have more control over the size and shape, etc. But linking has the advantage that if their logo changes, we get the change also. Some logos have strange shapes and clipping a piece of the logo makes more sense. So I'd say either method is fine, whatever produces the best result visually. I'm sure there are some advantages to consistency, but not sure we can achieve 100% consistency unless we only download.

::Lately, I've been linking to the image as this is less labor-intensive than uploading a copy to WikiIndex. But, as you say, there are times when the image is too unwieldy to fit in an infobox, so in those cases, I upload a copy. I don't recall seeing a discussion of which is the "Right Way". --[[User:MarvelZuvembie|MarvelZuvembie]] 21:39, 8 October 2009 (EDT) | |||
