I've been doing a lot of research lately on the containment unit and its labels. I want to share a little bit of information I discovered about the bumper sticker. Unfortunately, what I am about to post is probably going to be a monkey wrench with the probability of it being the Toshiba logo. First, while taking a look at more blower motors then I would ever care to, I discovered a brand that also has a similar look to the old Toshiba logo: Tamagawa Seiki.
The "T" is fashioned very similar to the "T" in Toshiba. I figured that this is also a lead to chase especially since they use blue/chrome labels. Next, I took this logo and tried to fit it on the bumper sticker. Unfortunately, the Tamagawa logo simply would not match up while trying to fit it on to the bumper label screen shot. The old Toshiba logo was still a better candidate.
Now, with the Tamagawa lead shot down, I decided to take a closer look at the bumper sticker. I took the 4k blu-ray and got myself better screen shots. Here are several unmodified shots of the label that I captured.
Next, I took this same image and I sharpened it.
Then I played with the brightness and contrast.
Does anyone else see this going on with the logo?
Finally, I centered on the middle image because I felt that was the best screenshot I got from the captures and blew it up.

I have a love/hate feeling going on with finding information like this. It certainly helps, but at the same time I wouldn't mind just settling on the Toshiba logo and calling it a day. What do you guys think?
