A guy in Japan thinking "I'm going to take a Roman T with some shifted serifs and a ball" is supposed to be able to try and find any associated logos out of the god knows how many that might describe? We can assume he was probably not familiar with the Belgian theatrical world. Hell I lived just outside the Belgian border for a couple of years, I've been to Liege (no idea how to put an accent grave on it; what happened to the Alt+ shortcuts??) and I had no clue what their theater's logo was so what chance does he have?
