Title: name that logo

I should know this... but I don't. What company or event used this logo?

Actually, it's very close to one of the 2012 Olympic logo renditions.

I think Graham has it. Appears to be a variation of the Team GB Lions logo.

It's very similar, but different. Maybe from an earlier Olympics? No Olympic rings or year # on this sticker, and the wreath part says "Triumph" to me. Still hoping for an exact match...

Just got an e-mail... turns out these stickers were handed out to participants of the 2009 Mini Can-Am Challenge.

It's such a great logo. I wonder why they didn't include some sort of tagline.

You can see one applied to this car:   (above the upper door hinge)
