Using no ink whatsoever, these 18″x24″ posters are foil stamped and embossed to create an alphabet composed of letters from many of the more famous (and some infamous) logos of all time. Printed in two different colorways, you have the choice of silver foil on black paper or gold foil on cream, both stocks are 100 lb. French Pop-Tone and include the artist’s signature on back.

The VW is brilliant!

Another vote for the brilliance of VW.

The Target logo as the O breaks with the rest though, and being the nitpicky design geek that I am, it bothers me. All the others are the first letter of the brand name, so either the O should’ve been something else, or there should’ve been more of them to not make the Target O stick out like a sore thumb.
It is a lovely design though, otherwise.

VW is genuis!
The only one I’m struggling to recognise is ‘L’…
Dec 15th, 2009 / 12:06 pm
L is Eli Lily.
Dec 15th, 2009 / 12:14 pm
The ‘L’ is from Eli Lilly. http://www.lilly.com/
Dec 15th, 2009 / 12:16 pm
I thought the L was Labatt? Guess not!
VW wins hands down in my books though!
Dec 15th, 2009 / 2:51 pm
I’m struggling with C. And I think VW is cheating. :-)
Dec 15th, 2009 / 4:00 pm
C is Coca Cola.
I’m stuck on the R.
Dec 15th, 2009 / 4:48 pm
Silly me!
R is Ray-Ban.
Dec 15th, 2009 / 4:59 pm
P from Penfolds?
Dec 15th, 2009 / 6:05 pm
Paramount?
Dec 16th, 2009 / 12:22 am
Definitely Paramount on the P. What’s the F?
Dec 16th, 2009 / 2:14 am
Ford?
Dec 16th, 2009 / 2:18 am
Definitely Ford on the F. Help with the ‘A’?
Dec 16th, 2009 / 2:52 am
abc news I reckon.

I love this, great choice of brands.
Only one I really have beef with is the Superman S.
There are better, less cheesy S’s out there, Seat for instance?

I love the fact some people have failed to recognize such obvious brand typography like the A from ABC and the R from Rayban.
Good work :)

nice work, but it seems so old, bring some thing new.

Thanks for pointing that out, designi1: I fixed the image url.

The “L” should’ve been Lexus. It’s a lot more recognizable and famous. Also, I agree with CK. Using the Target logo for the “O” is a huge copout, not because it isn’t the first letter of the brand (since “E” isn’t the first letter in “DELL” either), but because it’s not even an “O”. It’s a simplified bull’s eye. It’s not like there is a lack of great logos that use the “O” as the first letter. What about Oakley or ORSTER?!?! The Oster “O” is probably the most recognizable “O” in the history of product branding.
Dec 16th, 2009 / 3:33 pm
@hayden I think the “E” is Enron, not Dell.
Dec 16th, 2009 / 5:03 pm
You’re absolutely right on the “E”, Ryan. Enron does make a lot more sense.
