Help me identify this T-shirt logo?

[5MinuteRetro]

I'm not really active much elsewhere online so I thought I might as well try here (not least because there's an outside chance it's videogame-related).

I recently found some old photos of myself from the late 1980s -- probably 1988 or 1989. I look so ridiculous in this particular photo that my wife turned it into a WhatsApp sticker and now regularly uses it to mock me. That's fair enough: I am, after all, wearing a waistcoat with a leopard-print lining, corduroy trousers and a boater hat (and I’m SO mortified by that fact, even 35 years later, that I’ve cut my head off here). I’d have been about 18 or 19 at the time. I was not good at fashion. Anyway, whatever... I find myself fascinated as to what the logo/design might be on the hideous T-shirt I’m wearing. Does anyone recognise it? I have literally no idea but perhaps someone here will instantly know what it is…

That certainly is some snazzy dressing! As for the curious design, I'm not sure that actually is a logo.

Today, branded clothing is huge, since manufacturers know that branding a garment adds perceived value to it (even if it's a faux brand). So today our brains expect to see two types of printed t-shirt: large decorative prints that make use of the full space, or small branded graphics. Small is always a brand. However, back in the 1980s, printed t-shirts were still relatively new and (like videogames) didn't necessarily follow modern conventions. Maybe small decorations were a thing? The image seems to be a pink rose framed within a circle within a diamond, which seems to me someone's idea of t-shirt decoration.

Plus there's the fact that there appears to be no text. Now sure, the big, highly recognisable brands like Nike can get away with just a graphic, but for most brands, you'd definitely expect some kind of text to identify the brand. Moreso for a smaller brand with low public awareness. So I could be wrong but I'm guessing this isn't a logo but a decoration.

Sure… all good reasoning. I suspect ‘logo’ was the wrong choice of word on my part. Perhaps it is just some generic decoration… but I’m still curious if anyone recognises it.

(I fear a lot of my clothes shopping back then was conducted at Mr Byrite - for real!)
