ROCHESTER, NY. October 21, 2000. The American Printing History Association is pleased to announce that David M. Clinger of Richmond, Virginia, has been selected winner of the APHA Logo Competition. As we begin our second quarter-century, a new logo will help make the APHA name more immediately recognizable. Concerning his submission, Mr. Clinger wrote "The logo uses time-honored letterforms arranged like hand-set and line-cast type, yet is a digital creation.... The grid also mimics a four-up press sheet with trim area on all four sides." Mr. Clinger designed the logo on a Macintosh computer using Adobe Janson Text Roman and Adobe Garamond Expert Semibold.
The winner received a copy of the deluxe edition of A Century for the Century by Martin Hutner and Jerry Kelly, provided through the generosity of The Veatchs Arts of the Book. This catalogue elaborates upon and copiously illustrates the exhibition that surrounded APHA's October 1999 conference at the Grolier Club. (Conference papers were published in number 41 of Printing History, APHA's scholarly journal.) The deluxe edition, one of 50 copies autographed and specially bound, includes original leaves of some of the books exhibited. It was published at $375 but is now out of print. (Our sincere thanks to antiquarian booksellers Bob and Lynne Veatch!) The competition specified that the logo could be typographic, calligraphic, line art, or some combination. For flexibility and economy, the design was not to use more than two colors and was to be capable of reproduction in one color when necessary. More information about the contest appeared in the Winter 2001 (no. 142) issue of the APHA Newsletter. Designers: Higher resolution copies of the logo are available for download and appropriate use:
