hello, if there is an intrest in the evolution of this logo, I might give some extra information. The logo was designed in a first place with different colors, purple for starters, over the years it has proportionnally evolved and typographically. This last version was done 7 years ago by Basedesign. The reason of the 2 triangles making one shape, is due to the name, “top”, and to the fact that my grandfather and grandmother made one, being on one side mr. top and mrs Mouton, they worked in a harmony, trying to reachthe best. It was also developed as a perspective for the never ending road. We still have the full archive of the history of this logo.

Yeah I know Univers is a much closer match. I’m just basing my conclusion on the fact that my dad used Helvetica in everthing he did… so it makes sense to think he used that as well for the logo originally.

‘fraid not brother. It’s universe. Look at the top of the t for comparison. Beautiful work too.
