Don't you just love old Penguin and Pelican books? Do you remember these? Fabulous covers with bright, bold illustrations.

Like many, I prefer books from the 60s/70s. This Pelican has to be one of my all time favourites from university.

I also found a really interesting post on the development of the classic Penguin logo over at one of my new favourite design blogs delicious industries.

UK graphic designer Littlepixel has produced some great work reimagining classic records as vintage Penguin books. Really first-class.

Julian's exhibition took the form of a "collection of ephemera, screen prints and moving image that hints at the supernatural phenomena and events taking place at the new spirit hall in Belbury, a fictional provincial English town". Definitely a strong Penguin influence there!



Gosh, these are nice! And such great memories all these bring... what a great post, Deb. :~)
