Mysterious Innacessible Flash Drive

Ok, hey /g/, I have a curious mystery on my hand that may either have a mundane explanation, or lead to something deeper.
So at my school there is a donation drive where everyone dumps their shit in a room that they don't want anymore, and passing by I saw a flash drive on a stack of books, so of course I took it to see what files could be on it.
I insert it, and only one image file shows up on it, "THANK YOU_CCA.jpg," and nothing else. I can't open it so I assumed it was a corrupted file. Then I try open my data recovery tool to see what deleted files I can find randomly, and nothing shows up, except some long text file with random characters. This was a deep scan, so everything that I could find was found.
Ok, so nothing was found on this drive and I give up. Right before I unplug it, I look at the size of the flash drive and it says that, to my disbelief, 207 MB were used, while the image file was a few kilobytes. That could have been the end of a weird story, but then I inserted it back in my computer, and it doesn't show up. I reinsert it again, and still doesn't show, even in terminal when I ls the directory where it should show up. Doesn't show up on friend's comp either.
Then I decide to check the logo which is in the picture. Nowhere on google can I find anything resembling this logo, neither with reverse image search or with specific search terms for my area (NYC), etc.
So, can anybody help figure out where this drive comes from, or what is even on it? This seems a ridiculous mystery.
