LucasArts?
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.
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)
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.
This is exactly what I was reminded of! I think its gotta be this
Good find, to me it’s this logo, which was used from 2005-2013 across a lot of popular games. Logo
Same
this is exactly what came to mind for me as well
It’s a charity of some kind I think, or some kind of educational thing. Can’t remember if it’s 90s or 2000s.
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?
Educational initiative is what is ringing a bell for myself also!
The trouble is there’s buttloads of charities with sort of similar logos.
I was thinking like a heart healthy, ad council type thing that was put on cereal boxes.
I think this is what I was thinking of.
Candy sales or some kind of fundraising company?
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.
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.
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.

This was my guess too!
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.
YES YES YES FOR ME THIS IS 100% IT! HOLY SHIT that logo takes me WAY back.
My first thought was Aramark
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.
I think Olympics some time
Yeah it also made me think of the Olympics for some reason.
The name Creative Arts or similar is bouncing around my brain but damn if google, bing or ddg can help.
You mean Lucas Arts? They had a logo very similar to this
Yep!
It was purple and gold, right?
Yep!
Wasn’t it black and gold?
No, that was a dress, that came later.
There were several revisions of it

Your second link, the women’s march one, is basically an exact match.
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.
Those hips don’t lie.
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.
I remember it pretty much that way too, but not recently and not at a department store. Heck, I just browsed through commemorative euro coins (no dice) because I felt it was somehow connected to Europe in the nineties…
