His devoted and loyal clientele have long benefited from his “Love of Light,” graphic design expertise and unparalleled product knowledge. Notice the bit about “historic importance?” The Match Group not only offers over 25 years of hard-won experience in the world of matches, they keep an informative blog full of historical information and trivia about matches and matchbook design, and they’ve maintained an exhaustive Pinboard to assemble an impressively massive trove of design samples from all across the web.

Before the term "graphic designer" became part of our lexicon, many artist correspondence schools popped up across the country to train "commercial artists" for careers in advertising. During the 1940s and 50s, matchbook advertising was considered one of the most effective methods of reaching a wide audience of young talent, (or maybe they just assumed all artists were smokers at the time). The schools encouraged men and women to enter their talent tests and submit drawings for chances to win scholarships and earn big money. Although tempted myself, I was too young to enter, but I can recall carefully copying some of the "Draw Me" matchbook illustrations of dogs in the early sixties. It was my first introduction to the world of advertising art. Note to students: this old matchbook talent test still has merit, and would make a great lettering exercise in class this quarter. Stand on notice! The matchbook gem above is from Michael Karshis' Flickr photostream. There is something so delicious about this clown drawing and the awkward "circus type". It looks more like an advertisement for clown school than art school. It is from Animation Archive where you can read a great post on the Famous Artists School correspondence courses. Naked girlz and men smoking pipes were a constant theme of many of the advertising campaigns. This cover is one from Design for Good. Earn Big Money drawing "Spunky"! From Calsidyrose's Flickrstream. Art Talent Hunt from What is This? New talent needed! Front and inside covers of the landscape challenge. From eBay. Free art contest! Draw the Boxer and you may be a winner too. Front and inside matchcover from the Letterology Archives.
