Many years ago I saw a brochure that dealt with LEGO trademarks and how TLC
wanted to protect it. In that brochure, it displayed a ‘history’ of the
LEGO logo-- the many iterations of the logo, showing the evolution to the one
we know and love today.
Right now I can’t find it, and I could be mis-remembering, but I thought that
one of the logos used that cursive script.

I would imagine that the “Lego Imports Goldman Morgan” company vanished before
Lego was ever aware of them or defensive about their logo. From what I can see,
LIGM was around mostly in the 60’s or so (though I see one collectors plate from
what I assume must be 1976, since it says “1776 - 1976” as a US bicentennial
plate). Anyway, it’s unlikely that the two companies would have crossed paths
much back then, or if they did, probably weren’t overly defensive about their
logo.
Of course, I can’t find anything interesting about the company itself. I assume
they went out of business 20+ years ago, or changed their name (possibly forced
by Lego). The only thing I found on Google was a street address that may or may
not be the LIGM company, from 2005, which just gives an address:
LEGO IMPORT
226 5th Ave
FRNT
NEW YORK , NY 10001
Apart from that, nothin’ useful I could find.
