epic

Design: A panoramic treatment of the main line might have been appropriate, to tie the word in with film epics.

This squashed-looking font, although extended, is a little understated.

The stroboscopic border (see also the Alamar and Triola labels) gives impact to the design.

Bright yellow and black provide high colour contrast.
