I am looking for a picture of the Guzzi logo that was used before the eagle.
It looked like it was misspelled GUZI.
The logo I am looking for can be found on Cycle Garden: History site:

I want to copy that image (the Guzzi lettering... not the dudes) on some saddle bags via silk screen.

Anyone know where I can find a clear straight image of that logo?

I think that lettering on their sweaters is just for racing. I don't think there is a "pre eagle" logo.

Wiki -
Ravelli, ironically, had died just days after the war's end in an aircraft crash and is commemorated by the eagle's wings that form the Moto Guzzi logo.

The war ended in 1918. The first Guzzi was in 1921.

Wiki -
Giovanni Ravelli, Giorgio Parodi and Carlo Guzzi had envisioned the creation of a motorcycle company after World War I. When Ravelli was killed in a plane crash just days after the end of the war, Parodi and Guzzi chose to commemorate Ravelli by choosing as the emblem of their company, the symbol that represented their camaraderie and their common passion for flight: the insignia of the Italian Air Corp, l’aquila ad ali spiegate, the winged eagle. Originally, the emblem consisted solely of the gold eagle (with wings spread) over the Moto Guzzi lettering, usually in a sans-serif typeface. From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the eagle was heavily stylized, with the upper edge of the outspread wings forming a smooth, horizontal line. The late eighties saw a return to the less stylized gold eagle. The nineties saw the eagle and Moto Guzzi script on a flat red oval with a gold band along its perimeter. Circa 2004, the emblem reached its current, three-dimensional form.

Why not nip down to the art class of your local high school. Some of the students would be all over this job.
