Bush Hollyhead (1949-2020), ''The English Difference'' by Paul Jennings, 1974
I think Hollyhead is probably most famous for the quick cover-up he did for the Hipgnosis cover for Led Zeppelin’s album 'Houses of the Holy' in 1973. The logotype that Hollyhead dashed off to cover up part of Hipgnosis' artwork became synonymous with Led Zeppelin. (I'm not a big Led Zeppelin fan so I didn't know until making this post that the cover of 'Houses of the Holy' was inspired by Arthur C. Clarke’s novel 'Childhood’s End', an idea from the mind of the designer Aubrey Powell and that the kids in that album cover are climbing Giant’s Causeway in Ireland. Or that it's just two kids, siblings, who "were photographed over the course of ten days at dawn and at dusk."
Also, another related tidbit, one of Hollyhead's colleagues, George Hardie, who was part of the same artistic studio, did Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon' with Hollyhead adding an airbrush glow to the design.
