Was the 'Greeves' logo hand drawn or is it a recognised typeface?

I think this is the thread you were refering to, posted by Phil Hyde
Greeves, the name
At the risk of raking over old ground, Greeves Motorcycles Ltd, registered the previously unregistered trade name of Greeves. At the time an unwritten arrangement was made with the GRA to allow continued use of what was effectively the original logo based on OBG's signature. The logo used by Greeves Motorcycles is a version of that.
At the time, the Norton name was being heavily protected by trademark lawyers. There would be little point in pursuing the protection of the Greeves name when there is so much old stock about and little or nothing to be gained.
When it comes to buying parts for your Greeves there is an old saying. Caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.

The Greeves logo was definitely based on his signature, right from the first production machines in 1954.

When I bought the tank badges for my project I opted for a pair that didn't have the model engraved on them ie Hawkstone, Scottish.... This leaves a gap in the bottom of the line running around the edge.... I intend (when it gets a bit nearer completion) to have B.S.A engraved into this gap... Think this should look OK and be a bit different...
