    I think you must solve the puzzle to earn the right to use it as an avatar.

    You are correct, but arranging to have your logo printed on X number of Omega watches would seem to indicate something bigger than a mom and pop shop. To me the logo has the feel of South America.

    As long as you don't mind being associated with the "Hal's adult coin-op peep show" chain of outlets.

    (Flatfoot, at the back of the classroom raises hand...)

    Two of my friends flew for Flying Tigers, and made the transition to FedEx with minimal issues. One retired two years ago after turning 65 years old, the other is approaching that magic number of 65- somewhat arbitrarily set by the gubbement.

    I’ve observed that the good judgment trained into and demanded by their flying Careers tends to carry over in other parts of their lives.

    As to the OP subject logo, it sure looks aviation related. I first thought it might be an early iteration of the Heinkel logo. it could be a logo of one of the many early aircraft manufacturers that are now long gone.

    Heinkel folded in 1965 - which would have pre-dated this watch.

    My grandfather was an auditor for American Airlines, Flying Tigers’ parent company. My grandmother was rather shrewd playing the stock market and around 1974 told my grandfather she wanted to invest in a new company carrying freight- he flat out refused to let her (it was that era of having to “check with your husband”) saying Flying Tigers was the best air freight company and any start-up will flop in a matter of months against the giant....yeah, it was FedEx- she never let him forget that.

    Yesterday I was watching the movie "Beijing Bicycle" and the logo of the so called delivery business that operates the bike delivery service is using seemed familiar...

    This was the closest I could find. It’s for a small tourist/travel company in India. Though I know it’s not the same, I think identifying the creature being used in both could be helpful for identifying the business in question.

    The white S in the blue circle on the Rolex looks very much like the old Sabena logo. Can anyone translate the text ?
