Philately Fridays: Hungary, 1978

Four super sci-fi fantasy stamps from Hungary, 1978.

Star Wars promotional designs

I've been a Star Wars fan for as long back as I can remember. The original trilogy shaped a lot of my childhood and creative imagination. There was a great deal of fantastic design work associated with the films and here's a collection of some of it, mostly found online.



Early logo before the more commonly-known yellow on black letters came to be.





Poster for NPR's radio dramatization of Star Wars by illustrator Celia Strain. See more of her work at comicartfans.com



My all-time favorite Star Wars poster, from Israel.



The Italian design is also great. I love the creative liberties taken by the artist.

Incredible comic book ad showing off a ton of Star Wars toys.



And perhaps the most bizarre of all, this poster with C3PO and R2D2 asking parents to make sure their children have been immunized!

More book covers

Once again, Adam Garcia came through, this time sending over some super hot book cover designs he found online. Checka check it out.

Ballantine Adult Fantasy

A little while ago, my dude Adam Garcia put me up on these fresh to death fantasy book covers from Ballantine. I'm a sucker for '70s watercolor paintings, so these are right up my alley.













See all of them HERE.

Have a happy Thanksgiving and I'll be back on Friday!
