Logo?

Found a logo here that could be vectorized, but not sure if the original logo included color: https://uspto.report/TM/73472781

Sadly the series predates the web so there is probably no Wayback Machine page with info, we'd need a scanned manual. PhotographyEdits (talk) 08:22, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In print advertisements, the logo had a bubblegum/mauve coloration to it. For the purposes of readability though, I would leave it black. DigitalIceAge (talk) 21:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
