Cafe Waldorf logo with macaw, Reading, PA

[danno]

I am looking for the old logo from around 20 years ago. An image would be good. I have been tasked with recreating logos for a throwback race car. Any help would be appreciated.

A friend went to school with owns this place.
Is this what you want ??

Thank you Gino. I have attached a picture of what I'm searching. I might just wing it.

It's been the same owner and logo from when it opened in the early 80s.

Probably be easy enough to replicate that from the race car photo

Old english and a bird. Boom.

Not 100% sure, but I think that one belongs to another 'cafe waldorf'. Nothing in the reading one like that. You do realize, there are many waldorf cafes ??

We have Walsdorf Roofing here, no cafes LOL

I just googled Waldorf cafe, and the logo Gino posted came up.

Evidently he doesn't, slapped Reading right under it...

If Dyke would see that, he'd crush you. He's a very mild mannered person, but in his day, he was feared terribly. It's where we all grew up.

Why would you purposely misrepresent this guy ?? Do you think he can't find out ??

Wait a second, finding plenty of old photos of this vehicle, it does say reading, pa under it...

What's really funny is, when this took place, it was real close to our shop. But better yet, the other car has becker painting on it and that's Dyke's cousin, I think. The driver in the foreground is I believe another brother. Maybe because of the small space allowance somebody back then gave him a different option.

Shoulda just hollered at the vector dr for this, the bird is far simpler in the original.

Didn't they call those 3/4midget race cars and they drove on a dirt track?
