CONTENTLogos and Labels
Billy Bishop's Commerce & Industry series collects vintage trademark logos and labels into reference books for tattooers, illustrators and graphic designers. Volume Five gathers more than 1,000 images built around people and cars: men, women, children and automotive imagery, taken from old commercial logos and printed in black and white.
Old logo art is a natural fit for tattooing. The designs had to read clearly at small sizes and in one color, so they offer strong silhouettes, simple shapes and plenty of character. Use them for lettering ideas, figure poses or compositions for small, bold tattoos, or simply as a record of mid-century commercial art.
The first edition is limited to 350 copies, each hand-numbered by Billy Bishop. Volumes Three, Five and Six are also sold together as a set.
