Hi guys.... not seen this logo type before. Is it early? Newer?

I ended up ordering this Navigator strat today, I wonder what year it could be?
It has the 'Produced by ESP' and the gold-outline Navigator logo.
 
90s?
Have to check my early 80s all purpouse catalogs.
Navigators have no serial on headstock until around2004-2005,they have it on neckplate.

I have notice some rare Navigators Esparto were realeased recently.
Espartos are80s usually for sure,
 
From what I have seen in Japan, the ESPartos and telESPos were early, 1970`s, they published some special catalogues during their anniversary year a while ago that had a pictorial history of their guitars and those models were among the earliest.

Looks like a match for the logo, thanks. I was thinking late 70's early 80's but in any case an Esparto.
