Ian's emailed me with an update on that last post: "here is an example of the original redrawn NT logo with Richard Bird and Ken Briggs’ addition of Rockwell lettering based on the NT sign system of the time. Note the curved lines and round corners which have been lost in later versions. And the knackering caused by crummy 1970s repro and printing."
And here (again) is the later 'official' version.
