What logotypes use Bodoni font?

I'm looking for logotypes that make use of the Bodoni font family. So far I've found Lancia, Elizabeth Arden, Giorgio Armani (though the R has been modified) and Guerlain logos to be using it. I'm also afraid Elle and Vogue are made in Didot, but I'm eager to be proven wrong. Are there any others?|||Vogue's logo is a customised version of the font: Italian Didot Normal http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bagraphics/鈥?/a>





Elle is more problematic and opinions are divided. Some identify the font as Bodoni and others as Didot while others maintain it is Caslon Extra Condensed or even Basilia:

Bodoni is one of the two typesets that is used by Hilton Hotels for restaurant or bar menu content. For example, Hilton Garden Inn is a modified version of Bodoni Berthold BQ-Medium)
