Space Age Typography

I've been doing a little space age exploration of my own today for some galactic typography. Far too many finds out there to cover in this space. I've provided credits for your own explorations wherever possible. Best viewed while listening to some space age music of Les Baxter—or better yet, the Spotnicks.

Cocktails in Space with Lex Baxter and band. LP record cover from the Junk Monkey.

1962 paperback cover by Richard M. Powers. From Levar.

Atomic needles from Wackystuff.

The Spotnicks band from Sweden. From Siouxzan Perry's LP of the Day on Facebook.

Their guitar sound and staging were an influence on bands from the Ventures to even Devo. Check them out on YouTube. Some amazing stuff there!

Enough space exploration for me today. It's back to the future now.
