Episode 136: KISS, The Bicentennial and the Year 1976 (Classic Episode)

from Two Designers Walk Into a Bar · host Evergreen Podcasts

In honor of the nation’s 250th birthday, we’re revisiting one of our classic episodes. Why 1976? Plenty of reasons. We discuss each of our ages in this, the banner year our nation was turning 200 and everything in sight had bunting and was painted red, white and blue. KISS was at the height of their powers as Michael Doret’s amazing album art from “Rock and Roll Over” was gracing turntables from coast to coast and the timeless bicentennial star logo from designer Bruce Blackburn was on everything from postage stamps to NASA equipment. And last but not least, Richard Nixon enters the conversation (but not the bar). - - - - - Mentioned in this episode: Bicentennial Logo KISS Rock and Roll Over - - - - - Visit our full episode page for show notes, the visual examples we discuss, additional links and more! https://www.twodesignerswalkintoabar.com/episodes/episode-136-1976-classic - - - - - Have a question or idea for Todd and Elliot?
