Vaughan Oliver


Vaughan Oliver is a graphic designer based in Wandsworth, South West London.
Oliver is most noted for his work with graphic design studios 23 Envelope and v23. Both studios maintained a close relationship with record label 4AD between 1982 and 1998 and were to give distinct visual identities for the 4AD releases by many bands, including: Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil, Pale Saints, Pixies, Throwing Muses. 23 Envelope consisted of Vaughan Oliver (graphic design and typography) and Nigel Grierson (photography). Together, they created the artwork for almost all 4AD releases until 1987.
