Some research sleuthing by @ou_grimley and @microkubo reveals some striking similarities to a “certain crimson design school.” Judge for yourself.
A bit of the “separated at birth?” game… First, the school’s logo…
Second, according to Michael Kubo, the following images come from this book source:
Jan Conradi. Unimark International: The Design of Business and the Business of Design. Lars Müller, 2010. pages 98-99, 184-185.
 | Found in Unimark book. A logo for Hortors Limited that now represents a certain crimson design school. http://yfrog.com/kj31137094j | ||

 | Annals of a logo that is *not* the Harvard GSD: Massimo Vignelli/Unimark International, for Hortors, 1975. [1/4] http://twitpic.com/5t4m4h | ||

| *not* the GSD logo, 2 of 4. http://twitpic.com/5t4n1a | ||

(And here, for kicks, is a reinterpretation of the logo in question by students at the school)
