Here's a nice bit of printed ephemera; the logo for Marvel UK, Circa 1985. This was used on letter-headed paper, compliment slips, business cards, etc.
Dez's re-branding from 1979 lasted rather well, didn't it? Right through Jadwin House in Kentish Town, Redan Place (shown here) and finally Arundel House too. I think he was rather chuffed it had lasted that long (he'd had no idea, of course) when I showed him an Arundel House comp slip in the course of working on some details for my own Marvel UK reference work :-)
That letterhead certainly takes me back. I just had the strangest urge to call the old number, as if Wendy King might actually answer 'Morning, Marvel?' from 1986. Luckily my tenuous grip on sanity prevented me.
