The "I Can Read Movies" Series

Recently came across a fantastic series of vintage "book covers" designed around popular cinema by designer spacesick. They're beautiful and clever....and really well done. I've enjoyed pouring over them and thought I'd share the experience. Be sure to click on over to the owner's site to see them up close and personal.

In the designer's own words:

"I don't know WHY I like making things look old. I'm weird.

This sucker was partly inspired by Moss's's totally ossom Movie Poster Remakes series, and all the musty old textbooks and digests that I used to love flipping through as a kid. Maybe there'll be more! Who knows! Nobody tells me nothin."

Your Work Selected for new LogoLounge Master Library

Received an e-mail this afternoon informing me that one of the logos I'd submitted to the LogoLounge database has been selected for their first Master Library books. It is a distinct honor and great pleasure to have been selected.

The logo selected is one I did for Double R Manufacturing Inc. A powdercoating company in Roseburg, Oregon. The logo unfortunately was ultimately unused due to inhouse politics.


"Your work has been selected for a remarkable new LogoLounge project, the first book in the new Master Library series.

What is the Master Library series?

Like our existing (and continuing) LogoLounge book series, the new Master Library books will bring you plenty of exemplary logo design work from creatives around the world.

Unlike our original series, though, each book in the Master Library series will focus on a very specific logo design category, to wit:

• Initials & Crests
• Typography
• People
• Animals, Birds and Mythology
• Shapes and Symbols
• Nature and Food
• Arts and Culture (including transportation, sports and architecture)

We’d like to include your work in the inaugural book, Initials & Crests."
