TL;DR of the article, generated automatically.

A blogger traces the history of Image Club Graphics, a 90s stock art and font company, and reviews two sampler CDs from it.

  • Company history: Greg Kolodziejzyk founded Image Club in Calgary. It was sold to Aldus in 1994, ended up with Adobe, was spun off as Eyewire, and was bought by Getty Images in 1999.
  • Prices: The catalog lists CD-ROM packs from $80 for a PhotoGear edition to $800 for DigitArt Artroom.
  • Fonts: Monotype still sells Image Club typefaces, and the author says fonts from that era don't look dated.
  • Samplers: The post shows a 1997 and a 1998 sampler, but WebMorsels, the web graphics line, appears only as its first batch.

Not bad for a company you've never heard of.
