Back in the day, all Esquire covers had to incorporate the magazine's mascot, Esky. The great Henry Wolf was the art director from 1952 to 1958, and had pretty creative ways of using the logo without just sticking it on the corner of each cover.

Old Plays
Found outside of Mercer Street Books, on the dollar-book cart. I love the fat-face scene title mixed with the be-serifed body type, simple and elegant. The play's not half-bad either.

Lou Dorfsman and the CBS Wall
This is one of the most amazing pieces of typography, ever. He worked with close friend Herb Lubalin on the type, which was all hand-cut from wood. The Center for Design Study is currently restoring the wall as it was sitting in a basement for years after CBS just tore it down in the 80s or 90s.
