The really old Zenith stuff (like 30s and 40s) has a slightly different lightning-bolt logo than that used from 50's through the 90's...it is the same form, just an older-looking style.

Also the Zenith crest or "coat of arms" disappeared from sets for some reason around 1979 when the System 3 was developed...don't know why.

Another bit of trivia is that RCA returned to using the Nipper logo on electronics and records around 1980 after not using it since 1968 or so, but for some reason around 1982 or 1983 Nipper disappeared from electronics products but continued to be used on records, though I don't know exactly why.
