Hi, I have a shoulder bag, that I use to carry my camera, and I’m trying to identify the manufacture. The tag on the inside says “Outline”, but the logo is not like theirs, (a circle with a line though it). I am including a picture of the logo on my bag. I feel that I’ve seen it before, but have not been able to find it online. (The red one has been painted by me.) Does anyone recognize this logo? Thanks, … john [http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=ged46e6faec69c9331000166717a3400d575d901dd8](http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=ged46e6faec69c9331000166717a3400d575d901dd8) ---

On mobile so can’t do it, but I would try a Google reverse image search and upload the photo. ---

For those of us goofing off at work who can’t go to file-sharing sites, could you describe the logo? ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > It requires you to download a file. I’d advise not going there. Yeah, even if it’s safe, it’s still something that will make people hesitate (and justifiably so). OP, I’d suggest using an image-hosting site like Imgur when you want people to see pictures like this. ---

> [@electronbee](#): > > On mobile so can’t do it, but I would try a Google reverse image search and upload the photo. Hi electronbee, I did the reverse image search thing, and it worked quite well; but did not give me anything like my logo. A Google search using ‘Circlesquare’ came up with a lot of hits, but again, nothing I could relate to my bag logo. I have a feeling that someday I’ll see it and have the ‘aha’ moment. Until then … Thank you all, … john ---

I couldn’t recognize the design but if you are really determined, you can look through the vectors on [Brands of the World](https://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logos/categories/fashion). I went through the first 20 pages but didn’t find a match (there are 150+ pages). There is also a good chance that is not a manufacturer’s logo, but rather a design specific to a series. And then there is also a chance that whoever manufactured the brand was a one-off small time operation. Do you remember where and when you bought it? Maybe the store owner might know, or they can point you to a distributor who might know. ~Max ---

Hi Max, Thanks for the link, and for looking. It may be helpful in the future. I had never really considered that it may be a design feature. Good point! I probably bought the bag from Value Village. I wouldn’t pay full price for it. As I mentioned, the tag inside says ‘outline’, and another says ‘made in China’ so god only knows who made it; but it’s VERY nice quality and construction. Thanks again for your help. I’m going to let it go for now. … john > [@Max\_S](#): > > I couldn’t recognize the design but if you are really determined, you can look through the vectors on [Brands of the World](https://www.brandsoftheworld.com/logos/categories/fashion).
