Era Records 45 RPM Label

6

45 RPM vinyl produced by Era Records and pressed by Alco Pressing. Logo used is a later color variant of the original black and white atom logo. Era Records had a short-lived life before being sold to the larger label K-tel Records. The label design is balanced, separated into three color blocks with the song title listed in large, sans serif lettering at the top, the label name and logo in the middle, and the singer's name at the bottom in the same lettering as the title. The simple two-color scheme is unobtrusive and allows space for the equally simple logo. The overall design is simple and communicative. It was one of five or so styles done under the Era Records name.
