Every good guild or union has a newsletter, and ours -- since 1959 -- has been a monthly called
The Peg-Board ...
It's an out-dated title now, since pegboards, those metal disks in a drawing table to which animators anchor their drawing paper, have almost gone the way of the dodo bird; it's pixels and flat-screen displays now. However, we still use the title, even if the headers have changed. So, we present some
Peg-Board graphics.
In the 1960s, the
Peg-Board header looked like the above. Kind of bland, kind of generic, I think you'll agree. But then ...

Thinking we were onto a good thing, we decided to commision a new rectangle of artwork to use as a Peg-Board logo each year. In 1992, background artist Jim Hickey went with the image below (a modified version of the cartoon hand raised in a clenched fist that we occasionally put on picket signs):
(Remember that we didn't change our name to the Animation Guild until 2002.)
In 1993, President Tom Sito set tongues wagging with this Soviet-style art (a tongue-in-cheek joke which some of our Cold Warriors didn't appreciate):
And in 1997, story artist Sergio Aragones (also of MAD Magazine fame) came up with an epic rendering:
1998 was a time of transition in the animation biz. Artist Raùl Garcia caught the specifics of the change in graphic detail:
There are more, but we'll display them in another post.
