While I assume it is probably just a symbol, I am wondering if it has any actual meaning or history.

Q: What does the Atari symbol represent?
A:
The Atari symbol was designed by George Opperman in 1972. Pong was very big then, and the big letter A represented two opposing video game players with the center of the Pong court in the middle.
Q: What does the word "atari" mean?
A: The word atari comes from the game of Go, perhaps the world oldest board game. Several early 80's magazine references define atari as "you are about to be engulfed," but the rec.games.go FAQ denotes that word in this way:
atari : A group of stones is in atari if it has only one liberty left.

Nothing because I'm wearing these thin rayon print pants with a T-shirt that I wear as pj's & lounge wear for in-between weather. I like them, but unfortunately, they don't have any pockets. When I went outside to read the Sunday paper, I tossed on a sunhat & a loose-fitting oversize jean jacket with Kleenex & keys stuffed in the pockets. Never ever step outside without the keys.

Not sure what it stands for. But I know "atari" is Japanese. It means, "to attack" or "to target".. but can mean "Get ready to be attacked" in a very loose translation.
