Purpose of use
  1. Illustrate the seal of the State of Maryland, which shows some of the most important symbols within the state's history.
  2. The image enhances the article in which the logo appears, as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.
  3. Use of the logo visually identifies the state and its products in a manner that mere prose cannot, and meets all criteria in WP:NFCC
Replaceable?

Not replaceable; logos are always presumed non-free per WP:LOGO.
Other information This image does not limit the copyright holder's ability to profit from the original source, nor will it dilute the importance or recognition of the logo in connection with its organization.
