Vintage Inspired Design

James Bond Artwork

James Bond vintage book cover re-edition artwork

In our book, you can’t beat a bit of classic, vintage inspired design. These James Bond reissues (above) released last month have been designed by publisher Random House’s in-house team to emulate the style of design genius, Saul Bass.

Goldfinger reissued James Bond book cover design

Thunderball reissued James Bond book cover design

We love the fantastic, iconic style of these designs. The use of typography and composition gives instant appeal. However, we have to say, our real favourites are Michael Gillette’s designs for the covers of Penguin’s Bond novels. These were originally released to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming’s birth in 2008.
