Yeah, thats an oval badge, or as someone said, up to about 1960 I think. It is what is known as a 7 colour, for obvious reasons.

The later badges were 4 colours.

And they also have different features if you look closely......VERY different.....(between the 4 and 7 colour badges).

The logo is often quite stylised. Here's a bunch that I've been collecting for no good reason...
