A 1970s cassette tape deck that supplemented my stereo system in those days. The components have long since gone to that great Disco in the Sky but I didn't have the heart to ditch this beautiful, classic machine. Even the font, called Keep on Truckin', is a 70s relic. The tape names the most popular radio station for hip people in 1970s Toronto: 1050 CHUM. It played an eclectic mix, everything from hard rock to country music and more.
An interesting attempt to convey the retro influences of Fossil with their interpretations, or sampling, one might say, from the past. I've always had mixed feelings about Fossil's choice of nostalgia as a branding strategy. Without question they caught the eye of designers early on as their work was showing up in all the annuals.
What it spawned was far too much half baked nostalgia influenced design by lesser practitioners who spent little time truly studying the styles from which they stole.
