The 1975 brochure is the first to use the graphics at the bottom of the attached, but the pic of the Belle still has the old pie-shaped logo.  In the 1976 brochure the Belle pic has the new graphics.  There does not appear to be any notation regarding the logo change in the Belle logbook.  My guess is that it changed sometime in 1975-1976

Pie slice Klipsch logo is correct for 1975...also for 1976 speaker production...basically from 76 backwards the pie slice logo is correct, except for early 1960's and before.

Also there were times when the "engraved-plexiglass" model name logos were at the bottom of a speaker and the pie-slice log was the upper corner of the speaker, but it was just for a very short time.  The pie-slice logo was replaced in around October time-frame of 1977...with the metallic so-called "laser" badging.  There was a reason this was done, (the pie-slice PWK log, along with his "PWK" initials rendering...both trade-marks were owned by PWK, himself, NOT by the company!).   And there is ALSO a reason why the boxed "PWK" with "Klipsch" logo replaced the so-called "laser logo"....which did not have "PWK" on it.  The reasons are who had "controlling stock" of the company...during these time frames.

David here are several  pictures of the KLIPSCH PIE LOGO , the logo in my previous post is one style ,  and the other at the very bottom of this post  ,  this is showing how the left was discolored after years of usage , these are no longer available , unless a forum member has a pair ---

 

-the pie logo picture at the top of this post is a  remake of the  pie logo by klipsch  -

 

call KLIPSCH Parts ,  to find out  if the New Style Pie Logos are still available  , it's basically a peel and stick 3M klipsch original pie logo ,

They have not been available for decades, now...good luck!  The last ones the plant had were scarfed-up by the employees when they were told they would no longer be used.  Basically, the two versions of the originals are unobtainium nowadays.  But Klipsch COULD have another run of them made, it they desired to do it...it is what it is.
