Yep, me too.
Maybe we can use this thread to post any information on the logo that gets discovered later.
Also, it would be a welcome improvement if the Moderators would add a final post to any thread being locked and give a brief reason in the last post why the thread is being locked. It would answer any controversy about the locked thread situation.

·Strange that with the power of search engines and massive databases the logo remains unidentified.

For example- the following is the logo for one of the first and largest air freight carrier in the US (their reach was global and not just freight but military personnel as well).
This company was unstoppable, a juggernaut- until a little known company called Federal Express whooped their ass and bought them out in the late 80’s.
I doubt anyone these days would recognize it.

·I think this highlights how weak the Image Search capability actually is in search engines like Google or Bing.
.
Google seems to be much better at facial recognition than exact image recognition, which I find kind of fascinating. I have pictures that I've taken of class photos from 2nd and 3rd grade - so we are talking an image of a face that is not particularly large, and not as defined as it originally was too (poor man's scanner - used my cell phone), and in my Google Photos if I look for pictures of myself, those photos come up. Despite me being almost 43 now, it knows that one of the kids in those photos is me.

··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...I’m surprised it was pulled. Only had to delete one post. It was an innocent post by a new member.

·Yeah... and where do I post my findings after devoting my life to finding the true answer. I have uncovered information that runs to the highest powers, which would lead to mankind’s knowledge never being stuck on a small logo again, and world peace.
All lost because a thread was locked.

·Agreed- but there were many small (and large) companies that have gone the way of the do-do long ago and little remains of their corporate image.
For example- the following is the logo for one of the first and largest air freight carrier in the US (their reach was global and not just freight but military personnel as well).
This company was unstoppable, a juggernaut- until a little known company called Federal Express whooped their ass and bought them out in the late 80’s.

Funnily enough I do remember the Flying Tiger Line. Can't say whether I ever used them though -- too long ago 🙁

True, but who is to say the logo was associated with some good size corporation? Even in my one horse town there are small businesses with goofy logos so this mystery logo could have easily been for "Elmer's Quick Drain Cleaning" and Elmer just wanted a few special watches for his family.

·With the original thread locked, I could go back to my normal life without FONFOTL (fear of not finding out the logo).
But now it’s been resurrected it’s back to fruitless online searches and asking around 😵💫
So here it is again to taunt and mock you:

·Looks like there was a lot of pointless branding around in 1982 ..still in the throws of the quartz crisis?
Turkish-state-railways (as mentioned for an Omega by in the Original post) - this is a Longines from 1985 according to the net plus a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date with SNAS Aviation (Saudi Arabian cargo airline) logo on dial, steel, 34mm. Circa 1982
And an Omega from 1982...
