Purpose of use

The image is used to identify the brand illustration of the title script as used by the owner, founded in 1955, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the brand, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the brand, and illustrate the nature of the brand in a way that words alone could not convey. There is commentary in the article about the logo itself as follows: "1st edition 30 November 1955"

Replaceable?

1950s, not replaceable
