One of Sepo's first accounts with Dorland Advertising Agency was the shirt-maker Noveltex, with whom he continually worked over the course of almost 20 years. His geometrically-influenced depiction of a shirt is an ingenious, stylized Art Deco version of an Object Poster; it became the company's logo, serving as the basic visual element used by the company's advertisers for many years. This is the smaller format. Not in Sepo.
