Rosanoski suggests that Loughran’s shield may have been yellow, matching the funnel band. Loughran records the addition of a letter to that band but gives no date.

Stewart omitted the funnel letter in 1953, acknowledging the error in the notes. The 1957 letter looks more black than blue. The illustrated emblem has a white eagle with blue wings on a grey shield edged blue, with a blue diamond at its base. Above it is a yellow scroll outlined black and inscribed RICHFIELD in black.

Brown’s shields are simplified versions. The 1958 notes specify a black funnel letter and an altered flag, R114, with a blue eagle and a scroll inscribed RICHMOND in black; that spelling is retained as recorded. The FOTW R113 image follows Brown 1951 with a slightly different shield.

Joe McMillan questions Stewart’s white areas in light of Richfield’s blue and yellow corporate colours. Early advertisements show a shield closer in shape to Stewart’s than Wedge’s, leading him to suggest a possible combination of Wedge’s colour and Stewart’s shape for the early 1950s. He nevertheless follows the documentary sources in his illustrations rather than adopting that conjecture.
