This but the pre-2005 version of the logo was also my first thought.

Man those games were a staple of my childhood

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.

wow, is ADo ever hot garbage.

Don't forget to submit a Jira(Jai-rah)

[-] ShadowPouncer@kbin.social 37 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[-] rephlekt2718@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

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

[-] danwardvs@sh.itjust.works 4 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

It's a charity of some kind I think, or some kind of educational thing. Can't remember if it's 90s or 2000s.

[-] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I’m getting a similar vibe. Maybe a PBS/Edutainment production company whose logo popped up in the post credits?
Or the logo of some publishing company that showed up on their worksheets or handouts? A standardized test logo?

[-] spasm01@lemmywinks.com 7 points 2 years ago

Educational initiative is what is ringing a bell for myself also!

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

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@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] amanneedsamaid@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

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

[-] yool_ooloo 14 points 2 years ago

Junior Jazz Dance Classes? (frequently on posts about poor graphic design/'they knew') Found here https://9gag.com/gag/ap51ZK5 (yes, I'm citing 9gag because I will not cite reddit)

[-] Xariphon@kbin.social 13 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.

[-] Juno@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

I think Olympics some time

[-] Alperto@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago
[-] abcd@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

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

[-] ryan@the.coolest.zone 10 points 2 years ago

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.

I feel like I remember those hips more than anything. Not sure what that says about me, but it's certainly a distinct feature from all of the logos I've found while searching for this one.

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.

[-] SilentStorms@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

My first thought was Aramark

[-] Hexorg@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago

My first thought is Cingular Wireless

[-] aehnh@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

[-] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 8 points 2 years ago

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

I remember it being in the bottom corner of some VHS tapes back in the day. Maybe a production company?

[-] tal@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Bottom left corner of the screen in the recorded video, or on the tape itself?

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

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.

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.

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

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

[-] AnarchoYeasty@beehaw.org 9 points 2 years ago

You mean Lucas Arts? They had a logo very similar to this
