The bestselling science fiction novel – now a movie beyond your imagination
Movie tie-in edition of Frank Herbert’s Dune, published by Berkley Books in May 1984. The typography with widely tracked caps from Albertus follows the visual identity of the 1984 film adaptation by David Lynch. As Toshi points out, some details were customized. Most notably, the U lost its stem. Furthermore, and unlike in the three-dimensional version see in the titles, the E in the logo was made wider, and its middle bar flares to both sides. You can see the original Albertus E in the author’s name below.
The art re-uses a poster for the 1984 film and is credited to Dino de Laurentis Corporation.
