I think the first BECMI/Basic adventure that has the look is Horror on the Hill B4.  I can't figure out what exact date the new logo starts getting used, but figure it's fairly late in the year. Your French version of what looks like Moldvay Basic is an interesting anomaly with it's early 1982 logo and some aspects of the late '82 design.  Especially when I can't find any of the English (N series etc) stuff that has any sign of the "new" look.</blockquote>
