COMMENTS
Capitol Red and Orange Target Label type-3-2 with Circle Capitol® logo white background.
Wide font version (Scranton press)

In April, 1969, Capitol switched to a red and orange target label with the Capitol dome logo overprinted in black at nine o'clock. This new look label was quickly revised in July, 1969, with the Capitol dome logo being replaced by Capitol's new circle logo.
Unfortunately, the black circle logo did not always print well, often causing the image to appear as a muddy-looking black circle with a red dot in the center. This problem was corrected in early 1971, when the logo was given a white background and printed as part of the label backdrop. This gave the logo needed definition.
During the time singles were pressed with target labels, Capitol was pressing the bulk of its singles at its Scranton and Los Angeles factories. Limited runs of a few titles were also pressed by its Jacksonville plant.

There are  five basic variations of the target circle logo white background labels:
  • (1) Keystone labels with standard-size print (Scranton)
  • (2) Keystone labels with reduced-size print (Scranton)
  • (3) wide font labels (Scranton or Los Angeles)
  • (4) small print labels (normally Scranton)
  • (5) Scranton labels with atypical fonts (Scranton)

By having the circle logo printed as part of the label backdrop over a white background, the line between the outer ring and the inner ring, as well as the bar at three o'clock in the outer ring forming the "C," is clearly visible.
The ® symbol follows Capitol at nine o'clock.

There are two variations of the Capitol circle logo on these labels.
  • 1) The first has a TM designation following the word Capitol.
  • 2) After securing the trade mark for the logo, Capitol switched the TM marking to the ® symbol, following the word Capitol.
