But remember, at the time most color sets were very plain, my early RCA sets don't have *any* sort of color logo, although it is pretty obvious that they are not "normal monochrome" sets.

That is why I think the Motorola sets were so great... the gorgeous 19" just shouted COLOR! and even my 21" has that nice 3 color treatment of the tuning knob.
