This Star Wars letterhead from 1976 showcases an early visual identity for the soon-to-be legendary franchise. The artwork, created by Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, depicts Luke Skywalker silhouetted against a sunlit backdrop, while the distinctive logo text was designed by Joe Johnston, based on the Precis font. At the time, Star Wars was still in production, and The Star Wars Corporation handled the film’s legal, financial, and merchandising affairs. The company played a crucial role in shaping the business of Star Wars before being absorbed into Lucasfilm in 1980.
