Here's a thing. If you look at the covers to They Suffocate at Night and Master of the Universe, the '91 logo is actually the (second) '86 logo.

 I actually noticed this when I compiled the list of logos. I had not included it, as I assumed the as it appears on the cover of Masters, it was part of the sentence that includes the title. The (other) '86 logo appears on the actual disc (inside) of Masters, but not on Suffocate. This is why I assumed it was a sentence font. It made me wonder if Masters had been pressed/printed before Suffocate? Am I reading to much into that? Could it be possible?  Masters was recorded a full year before Suffocate. The other reason for this thought is because the logo on Masters is ACTUALLY different then Suffocate. Masters is a slightly different font. The difference is clear on the "U".  (yes....I was that bored!)

You were right, I'd never notice but the fonts are are slightly different between TSAN and Master. Probably because the former was done by Jarvis and the latter by the mysterious Robert Winterman Design Group; presumably they had different Lettraset kits to hand!

Reading too much into it? Probably!

I like that other hand-drawn 1986 logo. It's got that sort of DIY oddness that suits the period quite well.
