Italian logo design

Face-meltingly awesome Italian type and logomark design from the late 1970s and early '80s. No designer IDs available.

Philately Fridays: Venezuela, 1974



Bright stamp design from Venezuela depicting a hypnotizing numeral 9. I feel like the black & red "Venezuela" / "0,50" type was thrown in as an afterthought by a different designer. The blue and orange type and geometric elements gel so well together.
