Vehicle Graphics: Truck Logos

Ever wonder how things like liquid oxygen got from here to there….in the 60′s?  In style, it seems.

I recently found these photos in an old Graphis Magazine article called “Vehicle Graphics”.  Don’t these make you want to jump back in time to when company logos and marketing meant clean design and strong clean typography? Instead of always getting slapped in the face with bad design, sex, or inadequacy. Hmmm…

They are all so lovely it’s hard to pick a favorite – but if you had to drive one, which one would you choose?

“Are these things really better than the things I already have? Or am I just trained to be dissatisfied with what I have now? Am I just under a spell that says nothing is ever good enough?”
CHUCK PALAHNIUK
from Lullaby

“Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage.”

C.S. LEWIS
from Mere Christianity

” The answer must be, I think, that beauty and grace are performed whether or not we will or sense them. The least we can do is try to be there.”
-ANNIE DILLARD-
from Heavan & Earth in P@TC

“Your love is better than life…my soul will
be satisfied as with the richest of foods.”
psalm 63:5-6

“There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more, the other is to desire less.”
G.K. Chesterton


“For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.”
psalm 107:9 {NASB}
