Here's a thing. If you look at the covers to They Suffocate at Night and Master of the Universe, the '91 logo is actually the (second) '86 logo.

 I actually noticed this when I compiled the list of logos. I had not included it, as I assumed the as it appears on the cover of Masters, it was part of the sentence that includes the title. The (other) '86 logo appears on the actual disc (inside) of Masters, but not on Suffocate. This is why I assumed it was a sentence font. It made me wonder if Masters had been pressed/printed before Suffocate? Am I reading to much into that? Could it be possible?  Masters was recorded a full year before Suffocate. The other reason for this thought is because the logo on Masters is ACTUALLY different then Suffocate. Masters is a slightly different font. The difference is clear on the "U".  (yes....I was that bored!)

You were right, I'd never notice but the fonts are are slightly different between TSAN and Master. Probably because the former was done by Jarvis and the latter by the mysterious Robert Winterman Design Group; presumably they had different Lettraset kits to hand!

Reading too much into it? Probably!

I like that other hand-drawn 1986 logo. It's got that sort of DIY oddness that suits the period quite well.

Is the MORE-era logo the second best in Pulp history? I Say YES

It's like the 1995 and 1998 ones had a baby. I dig it. What's it called?

Acrylic Afternoons will hopefully update the superb twitter thread, naming the new font. It's pinned for anyone who hasn't seen it, not posting link as that might trigger spam filter?

My favourite variant of the new logo is the gradient, with shadow. Quite fancy the denim t-shirt with it on, but quite dear when you include p&p. BTW the Pulp store has a sale on of the older stuff from 2023-24. My all time favourite logo is Intro - Mexico '68 / Pump (thanks AA), though very fond of 1995 (previous imperial phase, and now superseded?).

Hmmm, I would vote (1) 1995 DC, (2) Neon 1992, and (3) Red U 1983 for "Everybody's Problem."

The new one is growing on me, but I think it would be either 92 or 97 to me. That Hardcore logo was always fun to draw on my school notebooks, and the Intro one looks fab on t-shirts.

Interesting that Pulp have always updated their logo every era like a football team changing their shirt every season.

While contemps; Blur, Oasis and Swayed, were consistent with their branding from the start.
