Flier of the week: Savoy at the Bluebird

Can you say "disco"? That's what jumps out at here, due largely to the slick Savoy logo and the supporting typography (love that silly dotted display font, designer!). The image here is arresting, even if it isn't communicating much beyond "Gasp!" I guess that means Savoy is an exciting and...

Can you say "disco"? That's what jumps out at here, due largely to the slick Savoy logo and the supporting typography (love that silly dotted display font, designer!). The image here is arresting, even if it isn't communicating much beyond "Gasp!" I guess that means Savoy is an exciting and possibly scary band? We'll give you exciting, anyway. The color scheme is also of particular note, especially the way the pink tones from the image are carried throughout. Even if we didn't know a thing about the bands, we'd be intrigued if we walked by it and at least halfway to guessing this should be a dance extravaganza, just by looking. That's a successful design in our book! Have a look at a bigger version by clicking on the small one.
