Bijelo Dugme band logo and cover art
“Ne Gledaj Me Tako I Ne Ljubi Me Više” single, Jugoton, December 1975, with the title set in caps from Futura Light
From Wikipedia:
Bijelo Dugme (transl. White Button) is a Bosnian (formerly Yugoslav) rock band, formed in Sarajevo, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1974. Bijelo Dugme is widely considered to have been the most popular and the best-selling band ever to exist in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and one of the most prominent acts of the Yugoslav rock scene and Yugoslav popular music in general.
Shown here are some of the bands album art and a concert poster, designed by Sarajevo designer Dragan S. Stefanović. The band logo, now an icon of the Yugoslav rock scene, is set in ITC Fat Face, in two tightly spaced lines, with the j pushing down the g.
The group disbanded in 1989, though it did see two revivals in 2005 and 2024. Also from Wikipedia:
Bijelo Dugme’s work remains popular in all former Yugoslav republics, the band often being considered one of the symbols of Yugoslav culture and their work being a frequent motif in various forms of Yugo-nostalgia.
Poster for a concert in Sarajevo on February 2, 1976, with small text in Bulletin Typewriter. The text in the upper left corner reads “Događaj meseca”, meaning “event of the month”.
“Milovan” / “Goodbye Amerika” single by Željko Bebek with Bijelo Dugme, 1976. The diacritic was made from a tilde, and the first k was cropped.
“Džambo” / “Vatra” single by Ipe Ivandić with Bijelo Dugme, 1976. Note the mirrored g in the band name. The sans on these two sleeves is Horatio.
The single sleeve for “Bitanga i Princeza” from March 1979 features ITC Fat Face for the title as well – with upside-down i’s. “Sa novog albuma” is added in Futura Black.
