Viking?

Found to have a unique solution by blurglecruncheon.

Found to be solvable by line logic alone by blurglecruncheon.

What company did this belong to originally? I tried looking for it online, but I came up with nothing. The closest thing I found was a logo for the Portland State Vikings, but they're a college sports team, not a company. The only other things I found that resembled this picture were stock images.

Anyone have any ideas?

Looks like an angel with its head cut off.

I can see a Viking, but can't recall the specific design as a logo.

Anyone?

I could use some clues about how to see the Viking. It looks to me like a dog with a floppy ear and a pointy upturned ear. For whatever that's worth?

The one pixel on the right column is the nose, he's facing that way ... Did it help?

Now I'm having a hard time seeing the Viking ...

Jota, thanks for the clue, but I still don't see it.

Oh! But a web search for "viking logo" found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Vikings
I'm not sure that's a match, but maybe?

The thing going up and left is the horn on his helmet. But Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets.

Yes Val! That's close enough, just missing one horn.
And Belita, they did!

The football team had horns on its logo, but real Vikings didn't. https://www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/manufacturing/text/viking_helmets.htm

Correct!
