Available on the organizational web page at http://nctequality.org/.
Trademark fair use: This is a descriptive or nominative use of a logo to describe the organization. There is no competitive use and no possibility of confusion.
Copyright fair use: This is a copyrighted image. Copyright is presumptively held by the organization, the National Center for Transgender Equality. The use of the logo in an article describing the organization is a fair use under 17 USC 107. The logo is not being used in any commercial application that will substitute for any licensing revenue the copyright-holder would have received. It is 100% of the copyrighted work, but in this instance, 100% of the copyrighted work is needed--a logo is by its nature indivisible -- so it is no more than necessary. The work is somewhat creative but its use is descriptive. Here the use is to provide a visual cue in an encyclopedia article about the organization; effectively, a trademark function and one permitted by trademark fair use.

edit| Description |
This is the logo for National Center for Transgender Equality. |
|---|---|
| Source |
The logo is from the following website: http://transequality.org/ |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
The logo is of 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 is used to identify the organization National Center for Transgender Equality, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. |
| Replaceable? |
Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
