This birth control poster was monumental in women gaining awareness of the birth control pill finally being legal, but this poster did not use logos to get it's point across. The use of logos is more about citing facts, using statistics, and employing reason. This poster has no statistics, no research, and no analysis on it and the only fact there is is yasmin stating "That's right boys i'm on the pill." Another point of logos is using logic and yes there is logic in the fact that women should have the right to use birth control if and when they want to. That if a women wants to control how many children she wants she can and should be able to, but that is not the point of the poster. The point of the poster is to spread the use of birth control pills by using a prominent actor of the time being Annette Funicello to promote the use of birth control so more women will use it. This poster is not a very good example of logos, but logos can be very useful when used properly.
