Someone on the forum who knows in what year Zeus switched from the world logo to the later oval logo?

I'm a child of the 70's and only remember the oval logo..........so early 70's or before?

Sorry for being unclear. I am referring to the logo on the parts, not the headbadge.

The No. 101 (1970?) and the No. 102 brochures (1973?) still show the world logo so I assume it changed later than 1973.
 
don't know the answer but i've been using an old Zeus beater for commuting and it's crankset/chainrings and the twin bolt seatpost have the world logo.
i can only guess the bike (durifort tubing frame for 27" wheels) might be of 1977 judging by the last 2 digits of the serial number.
only a guess... is that possible?

Recordando bicicletas Zeus

It might not be new to you all but I only just found the blog Recordando bicicletas Zeus. It brings a lot of information together, for example scans of all(?) the catalogs: 101 (1970), 102 (1973-74), 103 (1977), 104 (1980) and 105 (1984).
