This is one of the red-winged moth-looking enemies from Galaga.

Screenshot of Galaga Screenshot from mediamatic.net

Somewhat fittingly, the logo for Arqade, the spaceship, is also from Galaga.

    The ship in the Arqade.SE is inspired by Galaga. I am pretty sure the ship's design for the game is copyrighted. Unless you have a source that the stack indeed used it. [citation needed]

    @Mindwin The original ship was less stylized, but it definitely was inspired by it.

    Hey, move the ship to the left. You want it captured by that blue shield!
