According to AtariAge, it's two Pong players separated by a playfield
line. Hmm.

(No direct link, but search for "logo": it's the only entry to date.)

I always wondered if it was designed by Saul Bass, he of the
distinctive film posters and title sequences, who used a variations on a
similar theme for Rockwell International (almost identical, in a
circle, but without the middle bar) and Continental Airlines (a
horizontal version with four bars). But apparently not.
