A graphic in different shades of green. At the top is the word 'fair' in capital letters, and under each of the letters are the words 'findable', 'accessible', 'interoperable' and 'reusable'. On the bottom half of the graphic is the word 'care' in capital letters, and under each of the letters are the words 'collective benefit', 'authority to control', 'responsibility' and 'ethics'.
