Cribbing has a less negative connotation than that definition implies. Back in grade school in the eighties, you would crib your friends notes from a class you missed or something. Closer to sharing information. I guess you could crib from a friend for an essay, but the implication would be that although your essay might share the same information, you would not literally copy theirs word for word, that would be plagiarism and risk getting your friend in trouble.
In this context. I would read it as taking inspiration from, or in the style of. It's not like you are trying to cheat Psygnosis out of sales by selling knock-off games. Rather you are creating a retro style logo in the style of a much beloved eighties icon.
