I was just thinking the same thing, I'm really fond of the classic logos. In fact it always bother me to see the badly transformed letters in the Empire logo when they straightened it down, it will maybe be hard to fit it in that angle position with your layout but you can always let it lay down in that position if you know what I mean ;) that's how it was used sometimes in the old days. Just a suggestion.
If you want a hi-res of it, let me know. (it's the original hand made one, not a re-creation)
