Modern Icon

As iconic brands are still considered a rare breed, reaching the level of iconicism for the masses becomes a core competency that no competitor can imitate. However, this risky ad attempts to boast a company's omnipresent image by removing the obvious mother brand associations while still achieving next to immediate recognition. I do wonder if it is just as recognizable in the Swedish market it was developed for.. thoughts?

Can you guess what icon the ad represents?
