[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for Meteor (mobile network)
Description	This is a logo for Meteor (mobile network).
Source	The logo may be obtained from Meteor (mobile network).
Article	Meteor (mobile network)
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 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 brand Meteor (mobile network), a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the brand, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the brand, and illustrate the nature of the brand in a way that words alone could not convey.
Replaceable?	Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. 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.

this is the logo used my the Meteor Consortuim when bidding for the 3rd Irish GSM license in 1998/1999. Its use is purely for historical purposes.

[edit] Licensing

This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos.

This tag must have an accompanying fair use rationale which must be unique to the usage of THIS image in each article in which it is used. You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded.

Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa.

[edit] Fair use in Meteor (mobile network)

I believe use of the image is fair use in Meteor article because:

the logo is only being used for informational purposes;
its inclusion in the article adds to the content detail of Meteor because it represents the subject of this article in an historical fashion.
it is a defunct and historical logo and is NOT in use today for trading nor marketing purposes by its successor company.
