Action #1 Original Art

<< < (3/4) > >>

JVJ (RIP):
I didn't mean to imply that he was really TRYING to fool anyone, bchat, and I certainly got NO sense of sinister motives. But I was just wondering why go through all that trouble to have that much fun and miss such an obvious "tell". But he obviously WAS playing to a particular audience - that was my point. Perhaps that was his motive - to make certain that no one took him TOO seriously. Wouldn't surprise me.

Well, I went over and looked at the Action #1 original art and decided to make a few changes.
Take a look at:

I have been in the pre-press and graphic design business for longer than I care to remember.

Action #1 may have looked a little bit more like what you see here.

It was a lot of fun revising the original posting.

My first reaction:  why would the number 1 be a paste-over and not the entire logo?

GeneYas:

I think you guy are being too tough on this fake. The browning would be from glue. Golden age art didn't have centering symbols on it.

Here is a scan of art from 1948 that I know is real. It has browning. I've seen the piece in person.

In its current state, you're absolutely right, Gene. The discussion prior to May 20th was in regard to a former state of the reconstruction. If you go to the top of the thread and click on the link THERE, you'll see what we were talking about.
