According to Andy Babiuk, in Beatles Gear, it was around this time that the talents of local Liverpool signwriter, Tex O'Hara, were enlisted to design a Beatles drum logo. Seen in the top image on this page are various ideas that were considered before deciding on the final design seen to the right. These ideas were based on the 1962 drawing by Paul as seen below.
