To the uploader: Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. This tag is only for use on images of logos. Template:Non-free use rationale logo may be helpful for stating the rationale. Please do not use this template to tag non-free icons of computer software. Such items should be tagged with {{Non-free computer icon}} template.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

I don't get why a fair use rationale is needed for a straightforward logo, but here we go:

1. No other picture can give the same information as this logo.
2. As the picture itself has no value beyond brand recognition, publication of it can only increase brand recognition, and would not adversely affect the copyrighted media.
3. The size of the media should not matter in this case; its size has no bearing on piracy. This logo has no monetary value for reproductions, etc.
4. The logo has previously been published.
5. It's encyclopedic for our article on Virgin Unite.
6. It meets policy requirements.
7. It's used in Virgin Unite
8. It contributes significantly to the article, identifying the subject of the article.
9. It is used only in the article namespace.
10. It is attributed correctly. It's fair use in Virgin Unite only, because it identifies the subject of that article.
