Reminds me of the old LucasArts logo but that wasn’t stars, it was a sun or the top of an eyelid with lashes.

This is exactly what I was reminded of! I think its gotta be this

[–] danwardvs 8 points 2 years ago

Good find, to me it’s this logo, which was used from 2005-2013 across a lot of popular games. Logo

Looks like Jira or Confluence.

Jira

Poor OP dreaming about Jira

I'd say more like night terror if it's anything to do with Atlassian

Could be much worse… could be Azure DevOps.

From the comments, I think that the general answer is: We all recognize it, because a lot of different places used a logo sorta like this in the 90s.

And we can't pin it down exactly, because a lot of different places used a logo sorta like this in the 90s.

And being the 90s, a lot of that was never on the internet in the first place.

It rings very strong bells for me, and I don't think the reason is one that (at the time of this comment) has already been posted... But I can't for the life of me remember what it was for.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The problem is that there are a million logos from the 90s that have the same stylized "separate head". I'm attempting to attach an image to show off some examples. While I absolutely feel like I recognize the logo you've posted, I think it could be an amalgamation of many of them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

The image doesn't appear to show up in lemmy so hopefully this link works.

Could it be Knowledge Adventure? I played some of the JumpStart games growing up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

This was my guess too!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

I think this type of logo was commonly used in the 90ies early 2000, but with slight variations. My scool's logo (in the EU) looked similar. that's why it seems so familiar to most of us.

[–] BananaPeal 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That reminds me of the old Hannaford (and other Food Lion brands) guiding stars logo. It's something they'd put around the store, particularly on shelf tags. The person looks to be running right and there are only three stars. Might explain why you remember it, but can't place it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

YES YES YES FOR ME THIS IS 100% IT! HOLY SHIT that logo takes me WAY back.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

I definitely remember it, but I can't place it either.

Maybe we are all misremembering the old LucasArts logo, but I could swear I distinctly remember those stars, not the burst-arc.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

I distinctively remember it. Person is blue, stars are gold. Some versions of the logo had a gold band over the person.

I'm fairly sure I've seen it recently, likely at a department store.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

My first thought was Aramark

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This! I remember the colors being something like a blue background and the person in a lighter blue or a white background with a blue person. Stars were definitely separate

The name Creative Arts or similar is bouncing around my brain but damn if google, bing or ddg can help.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

It was purple and gold, right?

I swear some old pbs shows had a company logo like this attached.

this is also a common pose for abstract human form statues right down to the pointed handless arms. many logos used this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Considering all the different answers in this thread, checks out

[–] Ghost 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It kinda reminds me of the special Olympics logo, the other little people sorta look like stars at a glance?

there was an mouse and keyboard brand called genious from Taiwan.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I think to remember it's something related to sports. Many sports logos resemble an abstract human figure and the stars may be the the continents (like the Olympic rings) or the version of the event.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't think that it's an official Olympics logo. The closest is Barcelona Summer Olympics 1992, and it's not that similar.

I also picture/remember/misremember it being a women's sports logo specifically.

I remember seeing a logo like this in Australia for an Australian company. I can't remember the company though!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you have a country or rough timeframe (like, decade) where you might have seen it?

Wasn't there a cereal program with a logo like this back in the 90s/00? You could send in barcodes from the cereal box and it would donate money to your school?

Couldn't find any info.

My other guess is a weight loss program.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You're thinking of Box Tops for Education. I don't recall a person as part of their logo, but I could be wrong!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is there any chance you’re confusing it with the Nelvana logo from the 1980’s?
