The bold block type of the cover design typify what put this retailer on the cutting edge in 1969 and what makes the brand still relevant in 2009 – a clean, modern aesthetic with a sustainable conscience.

The cover is match gray + match blue + black, and the text is 2 special mix cool grays for duotones.
