Hello,
I've created reproductions in the past but had better representations to work from.
I have re-created peoples logos many times, originals ranging from napkins to baseball caps so it has become one of my specialties.
The frame art from what I see is a cross of the logo and a serif font mixture and that there is some kind of weird art deco elements.
You're right, it won't be accurate but I will have to guesstimate as to what it looks like.
Too bad that I still can't find someone who owns one. I would like to see what that beauty originally looks like in its full glory.
Thanks for your input all.
