Hartz Mountain (U.S.A.) / c. 1955
Corporate background:
This bird food manufacturer put out several
records of different bird sounds.
Design: An
oversized canary perched on a pine-clad mountaintop, behind
which the sun is rising, spews out notes as big as golf-clubs.
The designer was 'big' on the use of solid
black shadow to achieve impact, as appearing behind the
illustration of the bird and the music notes.
The bright red background is cheerful and
eye-catching.
