M.A.P.S logo
Hi guys and gals,
One area that I think would help date a lot of daybills is establishing a firm (well as firm as possible) date from when the M.A.P.S logo changed. Using the online database from the OFLC as well as the posters themselves should give us enough info.
I'm struggling to insert images for some reason, but it appears that the logo switched from the plain capitals around mid 1975. Jaws certainly had the new logo when it was certified for release by the OFLC in June 1975. The True Story of Eskimo Nell was passed for release in May 1975 and it's daybill shows the original logo.
What do you think? Are we able to say with some degree of confidence that a M.A.P.S daybill with the original logo has to have been printed between 1967 and mid 1975?
If we overlap that with the ratings system introduced in late 1971, we can close the gap even further.
