Aberdeen used a distinctive and unusual slab serif typeface in club’s programme ‘The Don’ back in 1983.

After a lot of searching we finally tracked down ‘Delta’, in an old French type foundry’s sample book, and digitally reproduced it along with adding an extra style variation.

To ensure the limited edition print felt as special as the celebration, a silver foil was applied to a GF Smith Colorplan cover, with a star die-cut to frame Willie Miller (Captain) and John Hewitt (winning goalscorer).

Unearthing and collating the content was a true European effort. Thanks to everyone involved at home and away in Sweden and France.

For the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Aberdeen FC’s win of the Super Cup we were commissioned to create a collection of merchandise. This included stickers, a pin badge, a craft beer glass and a poster for each of the 4 goals scored in the Super Cup and Cup Winners Cup finals in 1983.
