Old GPO logo

Post by fmrPOSTIE »

Well, have been looking for a while and managed to find a pic of the old GPO logo

Wow, dont you think it was quite ahead of its time? To me looking at it from today's perspective, it looks modern and yet has a historical conatation to it also, will there be a new logo coming out for RM >? We've had the same one now since 1989 (i think) and this would be a good logo for RM TODAY, change GPO to RMG :Very Happy

Anybody got other old logo's lying about?

The older version had 'GPO' in a circle rather than a curve-sided rectangle.
This one dates from about 1953 and continued until the GPO became a Public Corporation on 1st October 1969.
