[cool]Hey, Bro, that was part of an ad campaign, that seems to no longer be around. But, you might try contaciting the Owner hook company, that makes the Gorilla hooks, to see if they have any archives they could send you.

Hey there aquaman,
Things look pretty grim. I hit the owner site on the Japan side and of course they are still selling gorilla hooks but no sign of the logo you are talking about.
Check some of the older Pacific Fisherman and West Coast magazines. I've seen that logo in both the Western Outdoors News and Magazine not that long ago!! The publications for the fred hall show had them. Heck, back issues of the Saltwater Fisherman at the library should have something.
Good luck,
JapanRon
