The Brood title card and movie posters
Title card
From Wikipedia:
The Brood is a 1979 Canadian psychological body horror film written and directed by David Cronenberg, and starring Oliver Reed, Samantha Eggar, and Art Hindle. Its plot follows a man and his mentally ill ex-wife, who has been sequestered by a psychiatrist known for his controversial therapy techniques. A series of brutal unsolved murders serves as the backdrop for the central narrative.
The movie logo features modified caps from Revue (Letraset, 1969): Compared to Colin Brignall’s original design, H and R lost the descending bits. In B, R and D, the open top left corner was closed and rounded off. E got the same treatment and was further calmed down by arms of equal length with vertically cut terminals.
US One Sheet (27″×41″) poster. The tagline “They’re waiting… for you” uses all-caps Antique Olive Compact. David Cronenberg’s name appears to be set in a heavy weight of Fiedler Gothic.
British Quad (30″×40″) poster. The designers of this version apparently weren’t supplied with the original logo and had a go at Revue’s letterforms themselves. The original protruding bits in B, R and D were made longer. E follows suit and keeps its angled terminals.
This British Double Crown (20″×29.75″) poster puts the focus on Cindy Hinds in her role as Candice (here Candy). The movie logo is paired with two weights of ITC Avant Garde Gothic.
