apollo

Design: A rare example of the label name following the downward curve of the lower segment rather than the upper.

The sans serif lettering has been hand-drawn to radiate from the centre.

Because the ‘G’ in ‘Gramophone’ lacks a cross-bar it looks like a ‘C.’

The extra space after the word ‘Apollo’ is the result of the word ‘Gramophone’ being centred.
