Logos of the Early Ufology Scene

Throughout the later half of the 20th century organizations have sprung up to share information about UFO sightings and other worldly visitors, these small and fiercely independent groups communicated pre-internet via mailing lists and homemade zines. Self diagnosed experts bestowed wisdown upon loyal readers, enraptured with stories of flying saucers and big eyed little green men. Organisations such as Skywatch, Merseyside UFO Bulletin, UFO-VISION and Strange Universe set up shop to expose the cover ups and spread the word that we are indeed, not alone. This book compiles the logos of these organisations together in a first of its kind archive. Collected by Studio AKA. 111 pages. Paperback with glow in the dark blue binding. 4″ x 5.5″ 50 Watts is a bookstore with a focus on visually-striking and unusual books from around the world — incredible art books and artists’ books, surreal picture books, graphic design icons, underground comics, risograph zines, Writers No One Reads, deep backlist finds, odd vintage arcana, and funky gift books, prints, and ephemera. Expect to find lots of publications from Japan and Europe.
