Logo - Whose is it? - Snowboarding Forum

Can anyone tell me whose logo this is? I am pretty sure it is not being used anymore, but I need to find the source of it. I was told that it might be an old Nitro logo, but I don't know. My friend had this as a tattoo, and he was recently killed in the Army. I need to find the source so I can try to get a higher-resolution copy of this. A few of us will be getting this tattoo in his honor. Please let me know if you recognize this at all!
Thanks in advance...

more than a logo, it appears to be a celtic type of design, but i'm really not sure.

Actually, that looks Viking to me. Viking artwork is very simular to Celtic knotwork but they were fond of adding animals into their art. A common feature has the animals linked from tooth to tail. Those would be wolves in the artwork. That is a lovely peice of work and I bet if you searched google for groups that work with Runes or Historians dealing in the Viking period will be able to give you more insight here.

It reminds me of a smushed together version of the old Burton Republic logo.
