| Portion used |
The portion used is enough to convey the meaning originally intended by NBC. |
| Low resolution? |
The seal is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution. |
| Purpose of use |
The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject. The significance of the photo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the character, and illustrate the show's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. |
| Replaceable? |
This is directly from NBC, is a high-quality photograph and is offered free to users. Replacing this with something along the lines of a screen-grab would not represent NBC's original intentions (screenshot would be at the discretion of the user) and would take away from the quality of the article. |
