What is this thing??

[Mr. TCU]

On some airlines' aircraft I've noticed a figure that is comprised of five grey, roughly trianglular blobs on the outside of the aircraft, just behind the cockpit windows. It looks to be a little smaller than one of the cockpit windows. I only remember seeing it on the starboard side of the aircraft, but it could be on the port side as well, I don't know. I have seen it on Air Canada aircraft for sure. Can anybody tell me what this thing is?

Probably the Star Alliance group of airlines symbol ..... as per these examples
