That logo is not what was used on air in 1956 and for a few years afterwards. I’ll see if I can find the correct one.

This was its logo during HSV-7’s test transmissions.
This was one of its early station IDs.

Yeah i don’t know what HSV were going for with that
Found that in Google Images as well. But I said on-air, not newspaper ads!
Realistically though, it’d probably be hard to say for sure just how many of the older logos (particularly before the age of colour TV and home video recording) were used in both print and on-air.
I’d probably take Logopedia with a grain of salt especially when there’s stuff missing like TCN’s pre-1970 version of the Nine logo used by GTV/QTQ.

There’s also a “opening night newspaper ad” logo in this page, although it seems the user got it right.
These just happen to be on Ebay. Dating is unclear but judging by the faces I would hazard a guess only and say late 1950s or early 1960s
So there does appear to have been some overlap between early HSV logos at least in the early years, as 7 was using the eye logo in print from 1956 right through the 1960s, but the “(7)” shaped logo in the earlier years, but in the absence of any real footage it’s very hard to know for sure what was appearing on screen.

May only be a guess, but I suspect the bottom logo was used in conjunction with the Americas Cup in 1986/87…
