Thanks for posting, Sharon.
Very inspiring. Some of these types could turn out to be really cool and modern if we were to retrace them-especially the Sans.
Love the one with "Kitazawa booksore", with Jap Kanji on it -great label!

These are very nice. So much nicer than all the dead lifeless and boring modern sans based designs of today. Thanks for sharing.

okay, here's a pic of the inspiration from the site Sharon linked to:
and here's a pic showing my concept I will bring to the graphic designer:
the gray square is holding the spot where my mark will go.
i don't want to hijack this thread, so i'll post these pics over in the "critique" and "identify" sections, so i can hopefully get some feedback, as well as identify the fonts used in the original.
