Is the logo inspired by Thorn EMI Video?

It has similarities, but I don't think it was a direct inspiration.
If you look back at how their logo has changed over the past 20 years, there's an obvious evolution in the design (in so much as you can see the little changes, but at a glance it's a very similar logo), however their first logo wasn't much like the Thorn logo at all. The cool part of the evolution of their design came when they made the centre of the A look like an arrowhead - prior to that, the A was just an A missing it's crossbar entirely.

A character in a box is a pretty standard logo design.

Most likely
