I'm not being critical - just expressing a view, which might be a mistaken view at that. I've attached below a scan of an HMV logo which another forum member uploaded some time in the past which I think looks more authentic.
Thanks David

Here is a picture of the the Nipper logo from my HMV 101 Portable Gramophone - interesting to compare and contrast with the offerings from Restore-A-Gram and Peru: -
