Most instantly recogniseable record labels? Post yours here...

Back in the 60's, there were 4 record companies (EMI, Decca, Pye and Phillips) and they had labels but most of the stuff on their labels was much of a muchness. You bought tunes but you had no label loyalty

In 1966, Decca launched the first 'boutique' label whose idea was that cool people could buy anything and everything that the label released because it would be guaranteed to be cool music. The label was Deram

Ace, keep em coming... Does anyone remember one that uses that "don't trap your fingers" thing that 98% of techno DJ's have in safetey warning form stuck to their record boxes?
 
When I was a very small child. I have this really clear memory of being strangely fascinated by the CBS records orange/yellow design and the pacman style font they used to use. This might have just been me.
