Can you link to the Atari logo that looks like this? I can only find the 3 lines "mountain/A" logo.

That's the logo I meant. I mean it's not an exact depiction of the position in go, but I had imaged that the three lines were an abstracted representation of three black stones on three sides of a white stone that's not depicted in the logo.
Actually it seems like this is just a coincidence though (and it wasn't supposed to represent a mountain either):
