Philippe Apeloig / Frank Lloyd Wright
Have you seen Letterheady? I heard about it from a friend with an extensive paper collection and expert letterpress friends at VoltaPress. It's a totally fascinating, seemingly endless collection of the letterhead designs of famous people and companies (and a clever neologism: adj. overcome by a strong emotion due to a letterhead design). If you love fonts, paper, stationery, or glimpses into the private effects of notables, head over there and get ready to scroll for hours. It's cool to see how letterhead itself can be funny, artful, striking, unexpected, professional, irreverent, and how it reflects the persona of the person who writes on it. Some favorites:
Charles & Diana / Van Halen
McQueen / Bowie
Nudie's Rodeo Tailors / Gene Autry
Tennessee Williams / Ethyl Color & Chemical Co.
Mouvement Dada / Roy Lichtenstein
Queen / Steve Martin
The Muppets / Neil Diamond
