DETAIL
MARKS OF THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
Many publishers redesign their logos after a few decades of service, so the fact that there are so many iterations of the OUP's mark pays tribute to the long history (1478-present) and amazing breadth of the books sent forth from that illustrious house. Above are only a few of the different versions I found on my own shelves.
(See film of books being made at the Press from the OUP's more recent history -1925 to be exact- here.)
