    I was thinking Street Fighter, but it's not that either.
    Most things are influenced by something else anyway.

    I thought street fighter aswell but I think its just because of having the same word. Thanks everyone for the input, especially Smyth.

    It's quite a generic computer game logo so i'm sure there's things similar, but doubt it's an actual rip off. The old ridge racer logo has some similarity.

    Those web 2.0 style gradients are very generic.

    It's very hard to make something unique! http://www.logodesignlove.com/similar-original-logos

    I think it's the 'Topps' logo you're thinking of.

    On the same vein as Thin Lizzy response - a Foo Fighters album, although I'll be damned if I can remember which one
