Default Collins Question: Emblems

K3HVG ) writes:
The round (meatball) emblem came out came out in the 70's and replaced
the traditional "winged" emblem. Certain production changes, some quite
significant, accompanied the change in the Collins logo. Thus, when
buying or selling, the round emblem connotes later production
equipment......

Which is really why someone cares about the emblem. They want one
specific to the era of production, and the emblem is an easy way
of denoting them. All those ads seeking Collins equipment with a specific
emblem aren't there because the people think one emblem is nicer looking
than the other.

This is probably a very foolish question but I need an answer:

What is the difference between round emblem and wide emblem Collins gear?

Thanks in advance for the answer.
