- 1909 In 1909 the contours of the logo were modified and the upper tail of the “C” was shortened, which gave a more modern look to the emblem, yet kept the elegance and style of the previous version.
- 1910 — 1920 The redesign of 1901 brought another “C”, executed in a geometric sans-serif typeface, with the contours of the letter repeating octagonal shape.
