Seventies identity.

To have a better understanding of seventies graphics, I found a selection of logos on flickr compiled from what looked like a book of different examples over the alphabet, really comprehensive. They can be found here.

A few favourites, love the direct simplicity of the vector graphics, but they feel much more original without the soulless examples of vector logos today.

Postcards research

For bright colours and vector based type, I instantly thought Matt W Moore, great use of simple shapes and the bold colours really stand out. Many simple effects layered and combined together to create a really strong and technical piece of vector art. Following his site and twitter for a while, I keep being tempted by the shop online but the wallpaper there is just took expensive. Google 'MWM graphics' to find out more.

The third image is a typeface from the brilliant Jonathan Barnbrook called 'olympukes' using initial pictograms and manipulating them the describe the flaws of the olympics. I saw his work a few years ago at the Design Museum on a previous course and enjoyed his work since.
