I respectfully dispute this, Tim.  I believe that the door emblem change 
was a model year change, 1961 & 62 for the original script, and 1963-64 
for the re-designed script with the "by Chevrolet" subtext.

Then, of course, there is the 1965-only "Greenbrier" door emblem, all 
block letters and located within the body stripe instead of above it.

Didja know -- there exist a tiny number of 1965-style "Corvair 95" 
emblems (Dave Newell has one of 'em) because the original plan was to 
continue Rampside production into the 1965 model year, since there was 
no pickup version of the Chevy Van.  But with 1964 Rampside sales so 
miserable, that plan was dropped.
