Marvel Entertainment CEO Ike Perlmutter infamously cut corners, … Continue reading The Typography of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 3 & 4

The Typography of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 1 & 2
I wasn't sure whether I would make a series examining the logos of the ever-expanding, massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe. Having already done Pixar, and now covering the library of Disney animated features, I wasn't sure if tackling Marvel logos would be worth it. For one, these films are newer and more contemporary, lots has … Continue reading The Typography of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 1 & 2

The Many Logos of Disney Home Ent.
I'm a long-time Disney VHS collector who is fascinated by the little details that differentiate tapes, from all the different eras of Disney's home media division. In a way, it's kind of odd... Walt Disney Home Video had a logo before Walt Disney Productions proper. Walt Disney's films, up until the mid-1950s, had been distributed … Continue reading The Many Logos of Disney Home Ent.

They pressed on, doing more anthologies, more short cartoons, and then... Live-action pictures, from hybrid films (Song of the South) to short nature documentaries (the True-Life Adventures)... Three more post-war … Continue reading The Typography of Disney Animation Logos #5: Three More Anthologies…

The Typography of Disney Animation Logos #2: ‘Fantasia’
In part one, I looked at the various film and print logos for Walt Disney's first two animated features: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio. Though I'd love to cover certain films right now, this series will probably go in chronological order, so I most likely can't do those right now. If I … Continue reading The Typography of Disney Animation Logos #2: ‘Fantasia’
