The logo includes this flag-like wavy drawing.
(In my source, the logo appears always without border.
This image according web source.)

My impression is that the "vee" comprising the letters "m" are
rounded only on the left side.

My impression is that it's probably an effect of perspective.

Znamierowski [zna00] shows p. 244 a plate of house flags of North and South American shipping companies, dated 1933. The original source is 'Lloyd Reederei-Flaggen der Welt-Handelsflotte' [Lloyd Houseflags of the World Merchant Fleet], Bremen (Germany). The caption of the original plate says 'Lloyd Zigaretten + Bildersammlung: Reedereiflaggen', so the 'book' is an album for cigarette cards. I remember having seen a copy of this album to be sold for more than 150 USD.
Below is the description of the nine house flags from the plate shown in Znamierowski. The comments about each company are my translation from the German text below each image in the original source. The unit for the tonnage is 'Regt. brutto', but I don't know what it could mean :-
