CONTENTVintage Logos, Labels, and more!
Volume Six closes out Billy Bishop's six-book Commerce & Industry series and is the largest of the run: 104 pages and more than 1,100 vintage trademark logos. This one is organized around food and beverage brands, nautical imagery and a big section of round logos.
Round logos are especially useful for tattooers, since the circular frame, banner and lettering arrangements carry over directly to compact, readable designs. The nautical pages add mermaids and sea imagery from commercial art rather than tattoo flash, which gives a different take on familiar subjects, and the food and drink section is full of chefs, animals and lettering with plenty of personality.
The first edition is limited to 350 copies, each hand-numbered by Billy Bishop. It works as tattoo reference, a graphic design sourcebook, or a collector's piece, and Volumes Three, Five and Six are also sold together as a set.
