colonial.record

Corporate background:

Made in Germany for a British company, Lockwoods of London (a greyhound carrying a record is superimposed over a capital L), for sale in Australia.

That the label should carry this name is curious: having originally been settled in 1778, Australia was by this time no longer a colony, having become an independent Commonwealth country in 1901.

Design: An unusually-shaped border keeps the label name and logo separate from the imprinting area, its flowing line contrasting with the sharp-pointed stars which separate the blurb from the label name.
