I've been tiding up a manual I have - it's a pretty poor photo copy.

Maker long since gone.

At the bottom of the front page (next to the list of directors, etc) is a
logo of what looks to be a heraldic lion holding on to a flag pole with a
banner at the top. Totally unreadable. Dates from the early 1980s. Looks
similar to the lion that was stamped on eggs. Anyone remember what it
signified? It's not the company logo. Possibly some trade or export award?

Have you searched the IPO's register of trademarks?

If that does give an answer it might help if you told us what the manual
is about and shared the image; or failing the latter at least told us
what sort of heraldic lion (rampant, couchant, etc) and whether the pole
carries a square or rectangular banner, or perhaps a pennon or...

To me, that is more a real lion than heraldic one.

And in mine, the lion is standing upright on its hind legs holding on to
the flagpole - rather like a human might do. The banner is also a simple
rectangle designed for easy text (I'd say) rather than meant to look like
a real one. Something designed long before computer graphics became the
norm.

I have a near match but with the lower legs sawn off. Salford Grammar

If that's an accurate rendition of your manual then I'm not even sure
what if anything it's holding. Seems to me all one can say is that it's
probably a lion rampant facing the sinister. Is the rest of the manual
equally poor or is it possible the logo was a stamp applied by the retailer?

These are pro speakers and unlikely to have had a retailer. Supplied to
the end user direct.

Did you reduce the size down to about the postage stamp size it is on the
document? Or try viewing a long way from your monitor? On this 24" one,
viewing my JPEG of it from about 3 metres away is best. It looks to me to
have two banners, one on top of the other, with the top one not attached
to the pole. Of course it may not be a lion at all. The long tail might
make it a monkey. ;-)

Most of the manual is readable OK. As are the schematics. All simply back
on white. But a couple of pics in it just about as bad as this logo, so
perhaps down to photo copiers of that time.

It's not that important. Just thought I half recognised the logo and hoped
someone on here would remember what it was.

I tried it at various sizes. But I think your best hope is the software
they use in CSI that can give a vehicle's license plate from 6 pixels

As you originally described your manual as a photo copy, I took that to
mean that it was an image from a film camera. I now understand that the
blockiness of the lion is in the copy, not your scan of it. So the
manual is itself a scan. In that case, it would be more helpful to
submit a picture of the whole of the front page, in sufficient

an image search to find the manual online.

Not knowing the history, it could be a scan of a photocopy. But I used
'photocopy' as a generic term since if it was copied early on in its life
it would likely have been with an office machine, as domestic ones weren't
around then.

I tried to search for the reg numbers but came up with nothing.
I took them as part of a compition where my camera club were invited to one of their singer exibition days we took photos and they judged them I won a few dinner plates with the singer owners car club design but it wasn't the same logo as on either of those cars.

I've only put them up so I can get rid of some of my old slides and in case the current ownwers might get a chance to see the condition of these cars in the mid 70s.

Gracious me ! Yes.

It is pretty close, isn't it? I'll see if I can download a vector image
and alter it to what I want. Thanks, chaps.

All I need to know is what it said in the banner(s) ;-)


Talking of logos I scanned in a few old photos from late 70s at the weekend, anyone know what these two cars are.

One is an Austin and one a Singer and both still on the road ,you could
find the model details by digging deeper on the web but may have to tell
fibs that you are entitled to the information.

I had 5 minutes to kill while waitiing for a phone call so put the the
numbers in the GOV MOTcheck site,though of course both are now exempt due
to age.
That gives the make but not the model.
Both appear to be taxed at the moment.
For greater details such as make you would probably need to lie as to
having a valid reason or pretend you wanted an insurance quote and could
not be bothered to do that.

An anomaly with the Austin is that there is a discrepancy of two years of
first registration when checking just MOT Status and or using the MOT
history check. the latter also carries a warning that the owner is dire
risk of a fine as the MOT has expired so it does not seem to recognise the
exemption for older vehicles that came in a while back.

What were you looking at to check?
On the GOV MOT check it shows up well enough even though it it is now MOT
excempt.

Mistyped the number?

Indeed. But if you publish the front page someone else might have better
luck.

I've said what's on it. ;-)

But you haven't shown a picture of it, including actual names.

Because I can't see it helping. If you don't know what trade association
or award etc logo a company like Rogers might have used, a pic of the
Front page isn't going make any difference.
