It's actually a Persian style Helmet. Look up "Persian helmet" in Google Images. This is what you get. You can see the resemblance.
The logo is actually based on a Persian Helmet. Type in

I have a different theory on this entire issue. As you know, the only remaining historical sources are from the Greeks and we all know about propaganda. Even to this day, in the age where everyone has a camera on their phone, armies and nations still use propaganda and exaggerate figures on a regular basis.
Now as you know the Athenians supported a bunch of Greek separatists who raided and burned down a Persian controlled city on the west coast of modern day Turkey. The Persians primarily wanted to punish Athens and to make an example out of them. In the end, the forces of Xerxes burned Athens to the ground and as you know Athens was by far the most impressive city that the Greeks had at that time.
Remember the Persians were ruling over vast swathes of territory and they were governing cities like Babylon and Persepolis, the likes of which the Greeks had never seen. After burning Athens, supposedly the Persians were badly defeated on the field and at sea. This is according to the Greeks. However from a logical standpoint, if you think about it, what motivation would the Persians have to keep going after burning down Athens ? In reality if you think about it, they already had all the territory in the world and to them Greece was largely looked down upon as a sort of backwards backwater.
Out of all of Greece, Athens was the only decent city, so why even bother with the rest ? Now I'm not trying to be a revisionist here but all I'm saying is that when the only source is from the Greeks, then you have to look at the history with a little scepticism. Is it possible that in reality, after Athens the Persians withdrew and the Greeks simply made up the rest to make themselves sound impressive ? What actually happened back then ? Who knows.
