It is believed that this copyrighted logo's image qualifies under fair use when used in Equality North Carolina for the following reasons:

1. It is a low-resolution image of the logo, therefore any copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
2. It has had a proper, non-free logo license provided, ensuring that Wikipedia has acknowledged its copyright status.
3. It cannot be replaced by a free-use or a public-domain use image, as the copyright belongs to the organization. To create your own version of this image would be just as good, if not worse, as using the original.
4. It serves to illustrate the article in question.
5. It serves to show how the organization can be identified.
