Original album cover

Bananaphone is an album by Canadian children’s singer Raffi, released in September 1994.

“Bananaphone” is set in a modified version of Remedy Single. “RAFFI” is set in ITC Kabel Demi. The track listing uses different weights of the aforementioned two fonts, i.e. Remedy Double and ITC Kabel Medium.

On some reissues, “RAFFI” is in Eras Demi instead of ITC Kabel. This only applies to the front cover.

Art direction by Kiki Kambylis, The Design Works, with photography by Colin Goldie, GM Studios.
