    I love that Hirschfeld Heifetz.

    There’s at least one “Nina” that I found in the drawing. (Note: For those of you who may not know, Hirschfeld used to try and interweave his daughter’s name into each of his drawings, sometimes multiple times. The “Nina” here in in Heifetz’s hair, behind his ear.)

    Wonderful to use the Hirschfeld drawing, but the corny font for “Heifetz Encores” spoils the overall effect.

    By the way, when RCA started using that computer-letter style logo and sent Nipper to the doghouse, I know it was over for the company as a classical recording standard bearer.

      I agree about the font. It reminds me of the circus. Also, that aqua blue is painful to the eye against all those other colors.
