Best thing to do is search Amazon/Ebay and look at the pictures, although the logo hasn't really changed *that* much has it, surely?Johnny83 wrote:Now That's What I Call Music (from 1980's)
Can't help on the others though.
The current Now! look goes back as far as Now 20. If you want to see what they looked like in way back then land, headover to http://www.nowmusic.com which is the official site for Now! and you will see front covers and track listings for all Now's including the next Now (57) which takes the theme of Eggs on it's front cover.

The Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org) is also a good place to look for some old logo images:

Interesting, learn something new every day. Wasn't very consistent in the early days was it?russnet wrote:The current Now! look goes back as far as Now 20.

I have the British Leyland logo somewhere, albeit from later years when it was called Austin-Rover, but the same logo. I'll dig it out.
I'm currently in the process of trying to get all the Now CD's and getting them dead cheap. So far I have got down to Now 21 and apart from the original purchases that I made over a period of time (Now 34 onwards) I've managed to spend no more than a fiver on ebay per CD.

Trouble is, it's from now it gets expensive. From 11-20, I'm looking to pay a minimum of £10 per auction on Ebay. Now 9-10 can get upto £60 (minimum) per auction. It was from Now 9 when the CD was massed produced. Now 8 goes on an average nearer to the £100 mark.
Now 4 was the test in the market for CD's and it's this CD that regularly goes for a minimum of £300 per auction on Ebay. There was no Now CD's made between 5-7 and it's only on tape where every Now has been made for. Vinyl stopped at Now 35.
Anyhow back to old logos... Do you remember when it was late 1989 and every was beginning to be obessed with 1990 with companies/tv shows ending titles with "...90" This even went to the TVam show, Wac 90!"
Yay Thanks for that link found one of the logos I was after so far:MrTomServo wrote:You might want to check out brandsoftheworld.com.

Do you mean the one with all the diagonal stripes? If so is that the one requested? If someone asked be to describe the British Leyland logo, I'd go for the old L-in-a-circle one that was used until the early 80'sI have the British Leyland logo somewhere, albeit from later years when it was called Austin-Rover, but the same logo. I'll dig it out.
