Thanks, some great finds there. Interesting that Universal had a clown as their logo years before Mr. Do was released.

Sure thing. Someday, I hope to find the history behind that logo.

My guess this morning was to blame "Circus Circus":

... but there seems to be usage that even predates that!

The Universal font is a classic circus font so if they used it from their get-go then it was part of their original branding before they did anything.
