After the elaborate, flamboyant screen titles for the Gerry Anderson TV series' of my childhood; Stingray, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet, the sober, minimalist and then futuristic typography for 'UFO' told me I was no longer watching children’s television… #sciencefiction

[Kevin Taggerty @KevinTaggerty]

50 years on the tech has dated but UFO @GerryAndersonTV still looks futuristic and stylish - The opening credits, sets, fashion and uniforms, cars and the cool, enigmatic Commander Straker (played by Ed Bishop) are the epitome of #retrofuturism #sciencefiction #UFO

Brutalist packaging design for John Foxx and The Maths' latest album 'Howl' @foxxmetamedia is uncompromising as the music - Not often I'm impressed with graphic design but this really hit me on opening! Too may details to mention just simply great work @barnbrook #graphicdesign

[Kevin Taggerty @KevinTaggerty]

A few of the albums I have been listening to recently; 'Howl' by John Foxx and The Maths @foxxmetamedia also 'Book of Romance and Dust' by Exit North @istevejansen and a new compilation from @CherryRedGroup Musik Music Musique - 1980: The Dawn of Synth Pop #lockdownlistening

@savagechickens That's a lot of chickens (cats, dogs, bears, trees, aliens...)! Your observations of human nature illustrated in your cartoons is hilarious, and some are just so true, I love 'em and always look forward to what today's gem will be : )

...a NEW 'Laser Moose' book!

[savagechickens.bsky.social @savagechickens]

Every time I draw a new Laser Moose book, I need to draw a little cheat sheet for keeping track of Frank's previous injuries. Poor Frank! https://t.co/1gO0V6d8fX

Pleased to see this post @BICGroup - Was wondering what to do with used BiC ballpoint pens and found that @TerraCycleUK have drop-off locations, so when I have finished with some more... #recycling #environment #plastics

[BIC @BICGroup]

Two years of great work just wasn't enough, so we're renewing our partnership with @LeclercBonPlan! Now through September 15, French consumers can drop off all used writing instruments for recycling at collection points in E. LeClerc stores. #BIC 🇫🇷 https://t.co/AGTBRRGAIz

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

And me too : )

The missing cover on this sign post plate has given it a fearful expression : ( From earlier in the year on the high street where I work, when I was working in the Yellowdot studio and not from home! #lockdownextension #pareidolia #Texturehuntergather @LizAtkin

[Liz Atkin @LizAtkin]

Any of my fellow #Texturehuntergatherer folks spotted any faces in things? @Cukalu found some fab ones in stone in Sicily, here are my two today 😁

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

Yes, and it didn't look as sleek as the box top illustration! Artistic Licence?

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

This is one of my favourite box-top artworks @Airfix - Space art as well as aviation art #airfixtop10 #AircraftArt #illustrationart #painting #packagingdesign

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

Of course you can, and they still have the same high standard of great box-top artwork @Airfix #aviationart #AircraftArt #illustrationart #packagingdesign

[Jeremy Chadwick @kingphaff]

Felt like an excitable schoolboy seeing this - can you still buy Airfix kits I wonder?

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

Looks like my boss is missing the football so much he’s set-up his own @burnleyfc team line-up while #FootballsStayingHome @BBCSport @GaryLineker

NICE! - I do like a classic, and the Ford Capri MKI was designed by designed by Philip T. Clark who was also involved in the design of the American Ford Mustang. #cardesign #ClassicCar @forduk

[Caroline Hutchinson @YellowdotCar]

One for you @YellowdotKev @riversidemuseum

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

BOAC passenger jets were common sight over Hounslow and when Hatton Cross underground station opened I was delighted to see iconic #Speedbird emblem designed by Theyre Lee-Elliott incorporated in the platform mosaics #LogoDesign #BOAC #BA100 #ThrowbackThursday @British_Airways

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

#ThrowbackThursday Speedbird logo (1932 by Theyre Lee-Elliott) better than the 'ribbon' #logodesign @British_Airways

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

Gorgeous! @British_Airways - Harks back to golden age of air travel. I always thought the BOAC livery was smart, and to see the iconic Speedbird emblem in gold on that classic navy tail fin again reminds us what an elegant design this livery was #BOAC #BOAC747 #BA100

[British Airways @British_Airways]

It's been over 40 years since any of our 747s wore this livery, @BoeingAirplanes how does she look? #BOAC #BA100

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

Good to see our Christmas mailing providing traditional #festivefun @CryptoMoose - How'd you all like the facts and jokes? Some are absolute #christmascards #Christmascrackers #jokes

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

Is this what happens when you have worked @YellowdotWorld for a long time! #yellow

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

Right on! @ernieball42 - We listen to @BBC6Music during the day at work here and look forward to afternoons of hilarity, entertainment, the best interviews AND enlightenment from the brilliant partnership that is @BBCRadMac #saveradmac #Radio

The opening track on my favourite, and in my opinion, the best 'space' themed album ever made - 'Pulstar' by Vangelis on his cosmic ALBEDO 0.39 #Vangelis #electronicmusic #synth #space #interstellaralbum @BBC6Music

[BBC Radio 6 Music @BBC6Music]

What's your interstellar anthem?

🚀 Hannah Peel (@hanpeel) is building a rocket and will take you on a journey to deep space (and quite likely a peaceful inner-space too) this Sunday from 2-4pm, in her interplanetary special. Expect sigh-fi, thruster-bliss and much more.

[Kevin Taggerty @YellowdotKev]

See what you done there @kingphaff #trickphotography https://t.co/KAio31vK1H
