Look-in Logos...

A while back on the now defunct Look-in Blog which went with Daz's 'Look-in picture strip archive', we were discussing why some of Look-in's strips never used the proper logo lettering that went with the TV series in question. The most probable answer is that this would have added to the cost of using the series as a strip, in other words it was one way of keeping down the cost of the rights to do the strip.

I took this thought further and wondered what it might have looked like if they had used the proper lettering, and so I 'mocked up' these logos to post on the forum.  I found them on a disc the other day and I thought some of you who may not have seen them would like to, so here they are...

 

Incidentally, the Atlantis and TP fonts are available on the internet, the SMDM lettering is a font that I thought looked very close and The Bionic Woman I photoshopped from an annual cover, I think they look pretty good, and it is a pity they couldn't have been done for real in Look-in.

Bonus for you...

Cheekydog who supplied me with 1971 - No21, was in touch the other day and kindly sent me the Please Sir! pages un-watermarked, thanks to him and you can download the upgraded issue here...

December Update...

Here is  the new update for December...as usual click covers to download.  Note that the first issue - No.43 from 1972 is in a new huge form, I've had feedback from some people in the Yahoo 'Scanarama' group saying my scans were too small, so I have left the scans in their original scan size (nearly 2500 pixels in width!), CDisplay resizes them automatically for reading, and you can really see the difference.  there is of course a longer download time so be patient.  The second issue I had in my backlog so is a smaller size.

Enjoy them both...
