C.G. Conn (manufacturer of high-quality musical instruments) no longer exists. The company is now defunct. It has been sold and resold so many times that it's a shadow of its former self. Old pre-1950s Conn saxophones are excellent. Those from the mid-1950s onwards aren't much good at all.

By showing the old 1920s trademark (which was intended to project a corporate identity) it's possible to give readers a flavor of what Conn did. The Conn logo itself is typical 1920s style. Still, if you feel very strongly then go ahead and delete the Conn logo. However, having set the precedent that logos on Wikipedia articles aren't good, you must also delete the Microsoft logo from the Microsoft wikipedia page. I'm sure nobody will mind at all:-

If the Microsoft Wikipedia article can show the Microsoft logo, why can't the C.G.Conn article show the C.G.Conn logo? On the other hand, if you want to be pedantic and insist that only defunct companies should have their logos deleted, here's Woolworths:-

Logos are powerful things. That's why companies have them. Logos project the corporate identify of a company. That's why it was important for the C.G.Conn wikipedia article to have the relevant logo at the head. 212.159.112.72 12:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
