Does this look like Olly's to anybody else or am I crazy??

Also...it's hard to tell in my crappy iphone pics but the outer matte that Corey picked out is blue and looks like deep space. It's pretty cool.

My gmail inbox does not look like the work of Olly. Unless you mean because I have all sorts of unread emails. (badumching).

I don't see much Olly influence but maybe it's because I know Steve Thomas' stuff from a while back. He's a guy that really gets the vibe of the old art deco travel posters and it translates well.

Looks like it's riffing off of this. Olly himself even said that he took a bit of inspiration from an old travel poster.

It's highly likely that it was inspired by other design legends and not Moss. It's a classic, vintage travel poster. There are a few designers from way back who started that entire style.
