That looks like a very stylized W to me. If you look at the bottom, it looks notched to be a W and not a V.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I've looked at it many times over the years (I have too much time on my hands sometimes) and I've never been able to find a notch other than the false one created by the shadow.Jeff wrote:That looks like a very stylized W to me.

Nice to see the outside of the Marina Safeway in PG&E's infomercial. Click on the CFL bulb, and look real close;

Caught a bit of cable channel TLCs LITTLE PEOPLE BIG WORLD show this week.
The family went grocery shopping for Christmas dinner in a LIFESTYLED SAFEWAY-owned store.
Couldn't tell if a true Safeway...or a Safeway-owned chain...as they all look the same!

They live in Oregon, so it probably is a Safeway. They also shop at Fred Meyer in the seriesDean wrote:Caught a bit of cable channel TLCs LITTLE PEOPLE BIG WORLD show this week.

Hilarious news item this past week.
Dog walked into a SMITH'S (Utah, I believe).
Dog walked directly to the pet food aisle, grabbed a bone, and walked out. Cameras got the entire "robbery" on tape !!

I was watching a movie called "10 Items Or Less" starring Morgan Freeman, and they filmed it in a mexican market somewhere (I heard Carson). Several interior and exterior shots are seen.

Re: Supermarkets in the Movies and TV
According to this post on the Franklin Avenue blog: http://franklinavenue.blogspot.com/2008 ... right.html an episode of Mad Men that takes place in LA has a grocery bag with the old script version of the Ralphs logo. They didn't have a picture but I presume it's the pre-oval version.
Re: Supermarkets in the Movies and TV
Werent they using the Oval with curisve lettering before the newer, non-cursive oval logo?

Yes: http://homepage.mac.com/runchadrun/groc ... hsoval.jpg It was replaced with the modernized oval sometime in the late 80s, and the oval was more or less dropped altogehter in the last few years.Jeff wrote:Werent they using the Oval with curisve lettering before the newer, non-cursive oval logo?
I'm assuming this is the logo they used on Mad Men, which had some minor tweaks over the years:
