Does anyone remember a logo that looked like this? None of us can place it but we all think we remember.

I think to remember it's something related to sports. Many sports logos resemble an abstract human figure and the stars may be the the continents (like the Olympic rings) or the version of the event.

I don't think that it's an official Olympics logo. The closest is Barcelona Summer Olympics 1992, and it's not that similar.
Not Olympics; some other international sports thing. Paralympics? Commonwealth Games? Some other competition that happens in the alternate years when an Olympics isn't? IDK.
goes looking
It looks like the Paralympics don't do an annual thing; they've changed a few times, but with the exception of the first (which was three wheelchair wheels), it's been a combination of three swooshes:

It doesn't look like it's the Commonwealth Games either:

I tried doing a Google Images search for "athletic competition stars logo", but didn't turn anything likely up. The closest I was able to find was stock vector art:

I also picture/remember/misremember it being a women's sports logo specifically.
