After working on some logo designs the obvious thoughts set in and most of my designs had incorporated Ariel which unfortunately did not come into existence until 1990. Tricky when the period setting I was needed graphics for was the late 60's and early 70's!
This led to some research into fonts and the website fonts in use proved to be invaluable. It gives dated examples of artefacts (book covers, posters, album covers etc) and then says which fonts they used. This will enable the authenticity to ring true on the artefacts and ephemera I create for my work.

Another consideration would be the authenticity of the early logos and branding of the Global Warmning movement and how this may change. I think that as it got bigger it would undoubtedly move from a basic and handmade nieve design through to something with more polish. So a couple of designs are likely to be needed. The modern Arial font works I have designed could be used to bring the logo up to date for the new modern incarnation of the movement.
