The New Synthesis
The early years (1981-1989)....
Here are some early (circa 1978) treatments for a business card. I'd just moved to New York City and was still working in the video/animation/graphics arena, since digital and interactive online didn't really exist much. Sorry about the brown splotches: I'd cut out the sketches and pasted them into a scrapbook - the glue stained thru the paper.
Yeah, the Eye-Guy was a theme. Still is, sorta. Note that the little guy in card #2 lives on as the TCS logo in the upper left of the site.
