I don't remember that java script logo - it looks like a knock off of the Sunsoft Java trademark of the era, however. Does that image have any provenance? It looks like a professional imitation but I am seeing straight trade dress if not actual Langham Act infringement.

It’s a parody logo and a straight copy of the Java logo, on purpose. The point is to ridicule the lack of legitimate connection between the two languages, as pointed out above thread.
GP was saying that "JavaScript" was named "JavaScript" on purpose to build of off Java's popularity at the time.

Logos were never related (was there a JS logo at all?)
