What is this? Unknown symbol help

stressmaster5000 · **on:** October 19, 2011, 06:33:31 PM

OK, I have another what is it? The logo on this Victorinox Classic looks like a skull to me but also I think about those mushrooms on Mario video games. So does anyone here know what it is?

It can't be the Punisher's SAK... his is black.

I thought about that but it really does not match up very well with his symbol/logo. BTW the symbol/logo is a metal inlay.

Come on Neil, help me out here.

Looks like a Klingon symbol

Do you know the location of origin of this Vic Classic? Could it be a city or company logo from that area? It could be three light poles with a moon or keyhole background.

It also looks vaguely like the Beretta logo, stylized, without the other details.

I have no idea where it came from other than an eBay auction so its origin is unclear. Could be alien in origins, perhaps some kind of Decepticon? Maybe?

I better put it in quarantine. Will a zip lock baggie do?

Looks more like Ferengi to me...

Nope, but good guess as it helped me find these Star Trek symbols.

In order;
Tholian
United Federation of Planets
Bajor
Kazon
Klingon Empire
Romulan Star Empire
Ferengi Alliance
Borg
Star Fleet
Vidian Sodality
Vulcan
Maquis

I tried taking a black and white version for a run through google but that didn't find anything. Also tried it on its side which brought back a whole other bunch of stuff that still looked nothing like it

A timpani with 3 beaters?
Some organization for single parents with 2 children...?

Or this...:

Same image with fertility added as a keyword also doesn't help

I'm sure google image search used to be better than this. Its output seems very random

Bah! Close but no coconut http://www.machinekey.org/

I'm wondering if it might be electrical in nature - three wires soldered

My thoughts exactly, I have tried Google Images with keywords like connector, cable jack, etc... no luck

I was also thinking electrical but more in the line of "circuit boards manufacturing company" but no go this is the closest I got

OK, you guys have certainly expanded my thoughts about what it could be. Thanks for the help. It is appreciated. This query is circulating a couple of forums so if I get an answer I will post it up here.

An eBay auction lists the "Item location:". I just thought perhaps that might give some clues if their were some prominent businesses, tourist sites, or cities, in the area that might have that logo. To get a special embedded metal insignia seal or insignia implies a large minimum order.

That would be a good Wiki page, various logos or seals used on SAKs.

The eBay seller works for a western US city and he collects TSA confiscated items from about 12 major US west coast airports. It would be nearly impossible to tell which one it came from.
