look needed to be modernized again. Mobil's long
tradition of graphic standardization in their marketing stretched back to the 1930's with the 'Mobilgas' and red Pegasus logo. After doing an excellent job of updating their extensive documentation, DS Grafx was employed to update and modernize their aesthetic in advertising and marketing. |

The Mobil 1 V-Twin label design (left and above) was the second 'illustration/logo' of it's kind created by DS Grafx.
An illustration as well as a stand-alone logo, it combines distinctiveness and greater
appearance of quality without any increase in package production cost. Good design costs the same as
bad design and Mobil Oil knows a good deal when they see it and
DS Grafx has figured prominantly in their corporate design and
marketing graphics over the years. The Mopar dragster illustration was used for
