Not sure but by looking at its stance and shape I've only seen jumping spiders that do that and have that design on the back so im going for jumping spider of some sort

Yes, that is a McDonalds Jumping Spider.
You can tell be the twin golden arches at the posterior end, and the big M at the front.

Some other interesting arachnids can be seen here;
