In the following decade, the brand was already so famous that you decided to opt for a simpler graphics, inserting the brand inside a circle, but keeping the lettering. The same logo is shown on the new factory moved from Somma Lombardo to the neighboring town of Mornago.

In the 1990s, on the occasion of the acquisition of the brand, the logo was renewed, keeping in fact the lettering chosen by Noorda making it more elegant and current.
