The beautifully designed
and printed, glossy Icons collectors postcard set (of "4") which were
published and mailed-out to customers 22 years ago in 1998. Designed and
rendered by freelance graphic designer Noel Martin. Designed to promote the
Icons Predator, Terminator and Star Wars replica lines.
Icons Jim Latta recalls - "The Icons Collector Postcards were intended by me to be almost like jumbo trading cards. Noel Martin was an incredible talent. When I was introduced to him in 1998, he was working full-time at the Southern California Gas Company as serviceman. I was blown-away by his gifts as a graphic designer and at the time, our in-house graphic designer was overwhelmed with all of the work that was needed. So we retained Noel to work on a few campaigns and he designed and rendered these postcards after a little discussion on what I had envisioned for them graphic-wise. He hit it out of the park in my opinion".
Interestingly there was a "5th" Collectible postcard designed by Noel for an Icons Star Trek full-size Captain's Chair replica. But it was never printed.
So cool john gave me the solo blaster one years back after he SNAGGED THE BLASTER OFF EBAY!
