Vintage letterheads of famous people

Letterheady is a fantastic website run by Shaun Usher showcasing interesting letterhead designs, mainly it seems from famous people, offices and corporations. Shaun describes it as, "an online homage to offline correspondence; specifically letters. However, here at Letterheady we don't care about the letter's content. Just its design." What a wonderful resource for ephemera lovers and designers. Here are some examples:





Nat King Cole, 1964.







Frank Zappa, 1986.









Albert Einstein, 1932.





Elvis Presley.






Houdini, 1913



Adolf Hitler, 1934-1945




Winston Churchill, 1940.

Wonderful, Sunil - thanks for sharing this. The Scientology letterhead is worth the price of admission. And the Hindenburg piece is outasight.

Finding neat stuff like this is a joy indeed. Best for the beginning of 2010...
