Most issues were art directed by Willem de Ridder in Amsterdam. He used the “multi-tongued” Sea weed for the magazine’s logo. On several issues, it’s paired with Comstock.
Suck no. 5, May 1971. A smaller logo with redrawn letterform including ball terminals, paired with lowercase Cooper Black Italic for all information. This issue was art directed by Anthon Beeke. The cover photo is by Anna Beeke.
Suck no. 8 from June 1974 was the last Suck. The letterforms from Sea weed are here shown in yet another hand-drawn rendition. Found in the book Sex Press: la revolution sexuelle vue par la presse underground 1965–1975.
Most images in this contribution were found in an excellent and extensive review of Suck magazine by Document Journal. A recommended read, with more images (and all text set in Carvalho-Bernau’s Lyon!).
