Off now to complain about the Producer. #glasses #visionexpressareapaintodealwith #artist #eyes #tworonnies #comedy #penguinbooks #pelicanbooks

I can’t get enough of 1970s European TV graphics, and the current logo of the Nordisk Film & TV Fond (which I stumbled upon today) has more than a whiff of that terrible/wonderful era. Lovely stuff. #TVs #logo #1970s
