Does this logo already exist?

I put this together and immediately had some sort of ethereal recolection but I can't place the icon with a name of a company. Do you know if this icon already exists in a logo and if so what company it belongs to?

Adam did you try a Google search? Also It might only be a registered name in one country.

All logos already exist in some form or another. ;o)

Daniel, how do you do a Google search for an icon? That would indeed be a killer feature: paste in a picture, and we'll do pattern matching to find images similar to it.
I don't think they have it yet, though.

Steve, you can't do pattern matching, but you can certainly search for images:

(Yeesh...there's some ugly stuff out there ;o)

Steve I was refering to the name which might lead to the icon.

Of course, I realize that. But what if the logo was for a real estate company, or a construction firm (since it does look like a house)? It gets much harder the more abstract the logo gets.
Darrel, you aren't really searching for the images, but rather the name of the image. I think there ought to be some rought pattern matching ability out there that would allow a next-generation Google to offer what I described.
And it's not just images. Imagine a search engine that would allow you to match "That song that goes, dun-dun-dun-dah..." Right now, you have to know the artist, or (part of) the title, or understand the lyrics enough to search for those.
Sorry, I'm drifting off topic

Thanks you guys. For some reason Fidelity came to mind when I created it but have not been able to find anything similar.

Steve:
There actually was (is?) a service that did the song matching for you. You'd call in on your cell phone and hum a few bars and it'd find the song for you.
This, of course, was during the dot-com boom where ideas like this were actually thought to make money. ;o)

Adam,
I had a really strange thing happen a few minutes ago. I was flipping through my business card folder, and I came across a card I have from someone with the VEA group. Their logo looks like this:
Their website is www.veagroup.ca, and they do real estate investments.
Hope this helps,
-Mike

Just to distance myself from the shame of the swoop... I didn't design it- I just found it.
(Though, a meek part of me has to admit I'm currently designing a logo for a client who insisted on a swoop being integrated... *sigh*) :-)
