Solid Gold Bomb

Even though I liked the idea, I was never overly happy with how the original Varo Broadcasting Corp turned out. I decided to work on it some more to see what I could pull together with the existing elements. I wanted something very 70s with a soulful, Motown feel.

'Solid Gold Bomb' is also the title of a Scud: The Disposable Assassin graphic novel that came out in the 90s. The typeface I used was prevalent in 70s advertising, and a version also appears on Tarantino's Jackie Brown movie poster.

This is 18" x 24" and will eventually land in the Signalnoise Store.

I like it, plus I can't believe anyone would pull a SCUD quote.

Hmmm... I guess just a personal comment, but everything in the layout seems very textured except for the text. I think it may separate the text a bit much. It's hard to say because it does follow your other posters style "guide" exactly.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Ripple, Scott, I can totally see your point. Before this heads to print I'll play with beating up the type a bit. I'm just a big softy when it comes to clean text :)

Jon, the typeface is called Bookman. There is a standard serif version, and an alternate with those crazy swoops. My version here is a bit of mix of the two.
