Cartoon image from 2011 Pan Am Games Racquetball Competition

Should the icon on this article be replaced by the cartoon image for racquetball from the 2011 Pan Am Games Racquetball page? I think that'd be cool but I don't know about the copyright legalities of that (or exactly how to upload an image onto Wikipedia for use in an article). A caution though that the image on the racquetball competition page is incorrect, as it seems that the racquetball and squash logos have been reversed: the racquetball image is on the squash event page and the squash image is on the racquetball event page.

I don't think its necessary. Intoronto1125 TalkContributions 04:31, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the current image implies that's the image from the PAGs, which isn't the case. And the racquet in the image is clearly a longer than a racquetball racquet - more like a squash racquet. Thus, I'd certainly argue the image is sub-optimal and in some senses mis-leading. Trb333 (talk) 05:00, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It does not imply that it is from the Pan Am Games; it's a standard sports pictogram displayed throughout Wikipedia. The image currently used was made for the sport of racquets, played once or twice during the Olympics, and so is not completely correct. However, it is the best option; the mascot images are not necessary and possibly undesirable. Prayerfortheworld (talk) 07:07, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there away of the creating a racquetball pictogram? Intoronto1125 TalkContributions 12:28, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The images on the guadalajara sites could not be used because they contain the mascots, which are copyrighted, and since a free equivalent (or at least near equivalent) exists there is no non-free use that is applicable either.Ravendrop 16:32, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
