I thought it might be an International Harvester badge but further investigation seem it isn't Crying or Very sad

I would love to know... What happened to the logo.

Strangely enough, the Hotpoint washing machine was sold in Australia under the name Lightburn. Lightburn designed and build a number of light cars back in the sixties. The Lightburn Zeta for example.............

Hotpoint appears to have used this logo for a short time in the late 50's early 60's.

Reference to it, with photos, can be found in a blog created by Kenny Smith. Google Kenny Smith, Blog to find it.

The blog takes ages to open... but a short cut to an image can be found here.
