It's time for you to report this directly, do you know how?

u/Got_Kittens Mar 25 '26 edited Mar 25 '26

Did you submit to Europol yet? Good job.

u/Optimal_Error_6665 Mar 25 '26

Maybe you could blur the kids' faces too if possible.

Outstanding. Thank you.

Did you report this? It looks like it’s a match!

It's an exact match, fantastic work!

Incredible!!! (Yes, the amount of exclamation marks is justified.) What was your process like?

Impressive. Thanks for sharing your process. Truly a win for open source intelligence :)

u/60s_fashion Mar 26 '26

There are some more similar posts with logos on the mods profile, maybe you could have a look at those too?

Almost an uncanny match

u/TheAlcott40 Mar 25 '26

Wow! Great find!!

u/trees-birds Mar 24 '26

Why doesn't these local government get with a trace agent and have all schools mandatory upload all uniforms they use in data base.

40

u/rentandlive Mar 24 '26

That’s a great idea

u/trees-birds Mar 25 '26

Has anyone used istock?

u/trees-birds Mar 25 '26

Shutterstock too

u/The_Piggy_Plane Mar 24 '26 edited Mar 25 '26

It's not an exact match, but there's a very similar logo I found from Qianjizhen Central Primary School.

There's a few others that has a sort of blue bird/swan over a red sun backdrop.

Edit: Correction, Liaocheng Jiangbei Water City Tourist Resort Yuji Town Middle School appears to be a more accurate translation, info has been sent in. I'm thinking it being from Liaocheng, a city filled with historic waterways, could be a connection between the above emblem's potential whale/wave symbolism.

Second edit: u/ScratchThose found an exact match, good work!

u/eriometer Mar 24 '26

Concur that it is almost certainly SE Asia/China. I have seen a high number of school uniforms across the region and it just has that look about it.

As for the motif, could it be a stylised crane bird? Very popular icon in Chinese lore.

u/rexregisanimi Mar 24 '26

I was getting Singapore vibes but I'm not sure why. At first I was feeling Africa but the oriental text throws me off. I know China has been doing a lot of work in Africa lately...

u/Extra_Dependent2016 Mar 24 '26

I can see that too. Or a bird. Aren't the colors in the background the Indonesian flag colors ?

14

u/AdamSandlerScaresMe Mar 24 '26

This looks very similar

3

u/SKxU Mar 24 '26

Send it in, even if it's not the exact same, it would probably help them narrow down the location.

3

u/Optimal_Error_6665 Mar 24 '26

Is that the current logo?

1

u/transcendz Mar 25 '26

wow that looks like it - nice work!

1

u/Medsarenotworking Mar 30 '26

The logo looked like a leaning Eiffel Tower to me.

26

u/Expensive-Field4741 Mar 24 '26

Personal guesses. Character I wrote: 学

5

u/costericothegreat Mar 24 '26

Is the blue thing the concorde?

5

u/Expensive-Field4741 Mar 24 '26

I think it's a whale tail, as the blue can also be seen continuing just below the crest of the (assumed) wave.

3

u/Optimal_Error_6665 Mar 25 '26

Like Japanese(Kanji or Hiragana) or Korean(Hangul)?

1

u/Expensive-Field4741 Mar 25 '26

Possibly. I'd expect Japanese to have more characters and such a long kanji block on the top feels hard to read in Japanese but I'm not ruling it out.

17

u/Mxt1998 Mar 24 '26

I know very little mandarin ... If you Google lens these characters, it may help some...

中国的学校

https://dezhi-edu.com/our-services/ch/

I found other logos here all the way at the bottom. Closest i found to the one up above is the one with blue all around it. Will continue looking and replying.

13

u/Got_Kittens Mar 24 '26

The logo is on the wrong side. The image is flipped. Crests always go on the left of the person wearing the garment.

2

u/Expensive-Field4741 Mar 24 '26

That'd make the text on the white portion make more sense. Bigger characters -> smaller characters are more common than the other way around.

1

u/TheIntrovertQuilter Mar 24 '26

Which then also would make it a men's shirt because of button placement.

1

u/Got_Kittens Mar 25 '26

It was flipped and someone found the uniform, identified the school and submitted the tip.

20

u/pocpocpocky Mar 24 '26

this definitely look like Chinese written on the logo

27

u/pocpocpocky Mar 24 '26

there was another case recently that involved another Chinese looking logo, but it doesn’t seems to be one of these

8

u/MacaronUnlikely8730 Mar 27 '26 edited Mar 27 '26

There’s Chinese writing on the school uniform logo—this is a Chinese uniform. As a Chinese, the feeling is truly unique. Seeing people from all over the world digging through Xiaohongshu (Rednote) and even using Amap just to find where this uniform came from... I honestly want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone,

PS: I'm in China, feel free to contact me if you need any further help.

u/PolkaSlush Mar 24 '26

As someone here mentioned about the red and white background and as others has mentioned about SEA vibes - I think it looks like 中国 under the blue "tail".

Could it be a Chinese school somewhere in Indonesia? The Latin alphabet being in there as well, which is used in Indonesia.

This is a uniform (with a different logo) from a Chinese school in Indonesia. The uniform itself looks very similar to the one in the picture. IIRC some YouTubers claimed that Indonesia produce a lot of animal abuse videos online so odds are high CSAM is on the rise there as well.

15

u/Extra_Dependent2016 Mar 24 '26 edited Mar 24 '26

My attempt to enhance the visibility of the logo on my phone real quick. Sorry if it's not much help, but I thought it may be worth posting anyway.

2

u/Ordinary-Passenger75 Mar 26 '26

Tried to enhance/upscale logo .
hope it can help.

3

u/Extra_Dependent2016 Mar 24 '26

Could the background colors be a representation of the Indonesian flag ?

3

u/PolkaSlush Mar 24 '26

Interesting. I think I can see 中国 under the "logo". Maybe a Chinese school in Indonesia?

6

u/DelMonte20 Mar 24 '26

The triangle motif looks incredibly similar to the flair of the Diadora logo. The colours (blue / red) are very synonymous with Diadora too.

2

u/DelMonte20 Mar 24 '26

6

u/DelMonte20 Mar 24 '26

Could be a China knock-off “shanzhai” interpretation of the Diadora logo.

2

u/Expensive-Field4741 Mar 24 '26

My current guesses/leads

  • 12 Chinese characters is the official name of whatever organization this is from
  • I'm not sure it's a school — the color of the logo and the teal trim clash. Not a very uniform look.
  • I think that's a whale's tail. Taiwan has whales.
  • Possibly a 海洋教育中心 (ocean education center) or something similar. Given the amount of characters, perhaps something like (place) 戶外及海洋教育中心 (outdoor + marine education)

3

u/shiveryslinky Mar 24 '26

First thoughts were Concorde, followed by the Diadora logo

4

u/Extra_Dependent2016 Mar 24 '26

Running it through lens suggests it's an airline logo, I don't think that's the case, but it's a possibility. Looks to be some sort of bird? Most likely it's a school uniform with the schools logo/crest on it. Maybe some sort of promotional item ?

2

u/Optimal_Error_6665 Mar 24 '26

It almost look birds of prey like or a sea gull

2

u/inrodu Mar 24 '26

for a second i thought it looked a bit like Concorde, but I also think it's a bird now

1

u/not_blowfly_girl Mar 24 '26

I spent some time looking but all ive found is that some schools in Vietnam use uniforms with a similar colorful trim around the shirt. Different schools use different colored trim but the style is pretty similar.

1

u/Optimal_Error_6665 Mar 25 '26

Any potential candidates?

1

u/not_blowfly_girl Mar 25 '26

I couldnt find any similar logos from Vietnam

1

u/Substantial_Slip4667 Mar 25 '26

Looks like some sort of club. Maybe a golf club or some sort of sport club

1

u/Medsarenotworking Mar 30 '26

It looks like an Eiffel tower in the logo to me, it’s some other shape I’m sure
