| Post subject: | Prodigy Logo 2005 |
I did a quick search but couldnt seem to find anything on this subject so appologies if this has been found before http://www.hebig.org/blogs/archives/mai ... answer.jpg I was just reading through and American properganda history book and found this poster made by a famous French artist recognise the typeface 
That would explain why the 'g' looked so shit, as it was drawn to look like the rest of the font Anyway im a designer and found that interesting lol |

great find im always interested in these little things, kinda makes me get into the way the band works and finds inspiration. i think there was some info that they were into ww2 posters during that time |

Along the same lines, the square logo; 
is the same typeface as that used on WW2 American bombers. Same with the star. It's actually inverted, the star is white over a blue circle on the planes. |

See this pic? 
It's probably the same plane behind the guys in the background, a Boeing DC3. 
It's also known as the C47 Dakota. Here's one in camo: 
See the 45 degree cut off corners on the letters? Maybe I should have said the Prodigy version is a variation of the WW2 typeface. But essentially it's the same. |
