A Catalogue of Rome Catalogs
It’s a lovely Wednesday afternoon, which means it’s time for my blog. This week I wanted to take a look back into the history books of Rome. Retrospectives are always cool, it’s good to zoom out once and a while – and, as your print design liaison, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the catalogs of yore.
#1 – 2002/03
The ‘03 product Consumer Catalog
A collectors item – you can’t just find these anywhere… and I’ve got 3 of ‘em!
#2 – 2003/04
The ‘04 product Consumer Catalog
Did I mention this was the ‘04 consumer catalog?
#3 – 2004/05
The ‘05 product Consumer Catalog
First departure from the good ol’ corporate word mark, though it still bares the gruesome mustard-yellow Pantone 124 of times past.
#4 – 2005/06
The ‘06 product Consumer Catalog
First (and only, until ‘09) photographic cover. Nice, huge wheat-paste hit on a Burlington train
#5 – 2006/07
The ‘07 product Consumer Catalog
This was my first job at Rome. There’s a sweet gloss hit over that star-bar, but you can’t tell because… well… it was printed on glossy paper anyway.
#6 – 2007/08
The ‘08 product Consumer Catalog
First dip into specialty neon inks. Bumped up to a significantly bigger size this year as well.
#7 – 2008/09
The ‘09 product Consumer Catalog – the latest and greatest, hot off the presses.
