I was watching TV, as you do and this advert came on about one of those stupid shows, called "Make me a supermodel". I was thinking, "Oh great, more crap that no one wants to watch".
Then I saw that the logo actually was the same as the Aperture Science Computer-aided Enrichment Center.
Take a look for yourself...

Here is the site about it

Why can't people just think up there own logos :\

It's not like the aperture logo is entirely original - it's a pretty basic, and common design.

Ouch, well they do own the Logo, I mean Valve does anyway.

An aperture is the part of a photocamera which regulates how much light drops onto the film. By increasing the aperture size and decreasing the duration the film is exposed, you can take pictures of moving objects. If you decrease the apeture's size and increase the time light has to drop onto the film, you can make photographs of overlighted objects, but you will have to make sure the object you're taking a picture of, doesn't move, as you will otherwise see that on your picture.

I'm sure you know it.

Not even close.

The Logo For aperture Science yes.

That is not the aperture science logo though. The aperture science has an A forming one of the outer lines. This is a very common image used in a bullion places.

muhahaha we know where Aperture science get their test subjects

If thats the Logo, then why Valve used the "other" logo often? I never saw that logo in the game besides using the "A" as in "Aperture" on the signs but never by itself..

Sorry but the supermodel show logo is not the same as the Aperture Science logo...

Aperture Science logo - 8 sections

Supermodel show logo - 7 sections

Yes they are very similar, but the logo is a basic stylized camera aperture and it isn't far-fetched to think that more than one person could come up with the same idea.

Nice find though.

I don't remember seeing it by itself in the original levels either (it's a long time since I have played them), but the Aperture logo without the "A" in it is an overlay available to you when making a map for Portal in Hammer. I have used it in my map too.
