It’s an igloo. And, of course a it’s a stylized “N,” with a stick and puck.
Ah, good to know - thanks!
I can’t believe I’m the first in this thread to ask: " How many tails does a mermaid have?" "
I feel like I just posted this in a similar thread, but since I can’t find it right now…The 3rd Gear. “Business Engineering.”
Obviously not cleared by Engineering.
Maybe they were planning on marketing themselves to project managers who just wanted everything to stop moving so fast. 
OK, I’ll admit I’ve not got the best Goolgle-fu but I picked the “Instituto de Estudos Orientais” at random and tried to find an independent source and the only place I could find that logo was on Bad Logos sites.
ETA: Maybe like the creamsicle ad?

Those are tails? I thought they were just background.
The red is shaped like a lower-case “e”, the red + white form a lower-case “d”, the blue is shaped like a lower-case “b”, and all three together form an “M”.
The team’s full name, in French, was “Les Expos de Montréal” and the logo was owned by Montreal Baseball Club, Ltd.
{re my claim: the Montreal Expos “M” Logo contains the large M an “e” and “b” within the M for Montreal Expos Baseball}
Um, its no big secret, but barring an interview with the designer, I guess making it ‘fact’ level would be tough. Guess it isn’t obvious from the logo?!
Here is some input from the Candian Design Resoutce.
The designers of the logo are Stewart & Morrison, Toronto, ON
I saw those letters as a kid, but the only one I could ever convince anyone of is the “M”. I never saw the d, although I do now. I saw M, e, b and assumed it was for Montreal Expos Baseball. But I never knew I was right.
I’ll take the words of the other dopers on this one. It is what it looks like.
And I never saw the M. I always wondered why Montréal wanted a logo that said ‘elb’. 
Allegedly it’s supposed to represent basketball players heading onto the court.
from wiki:
[
](Portland Trail Blazers - Wikipedia)When it wasvertical, you could sort of see the lowercase “t” and “b” in there, too.
I didn’t understand for a long time the Montreal Canadiens “C-H” logo. It’s not bad looking, but it took me a lot of research (in a time before internet) to figure it out.
Ditto. Just weird.
Couldn’t agree more.
Okay, let’s play a little game! This logo can be found all over town (I live in Toronto). I mostly see it in the subway, but it’s scattered around the city. If you can guess what it is and what it’s promoting, I will do a little dance with bells on my shoes. GTA area Dopers may not participate, because this logo made the newspapers for being stupid.
Yo dawg i herd u liek orange drink so i put some tango in ur tango so you can taste your twat while you taste your twat!
I always liked the Montreal Expos’ logo, once it was explained to me 30 years ago. There was a clever item in the uniwatch blog today about how the Expos should’ve changed their name to the Expose’ when they moved to DC. link
I still don’t like the old Canucks’ logo. Hockey players don’t smile, because they don’t have teeth. (Just kidding, you hockey players!)
That’s what a proper hockey team logo would be, a guy with a few teeth knocked out.
