Electric Lady Studios was commissioned by Jimi Hendrix in 1968 and designed by audio engineer Eddie Kramer and architect John Storyk from 1969 to 1970. The studio’s building was formerly a nightclub before being converted into a studio for Hendrix and other musicians along the 1970s.

A modified version of Photo-Lettering’s Williamson Template is used for the studio’s logo, with notable differences such as wider characters, and oval counters.

  1. An outstanding find and excellent visual documentation! Thanks, Reybach.

    with notable differences such as wider characters, and oval counters.

    I think the typeface was simply stretched horizontally, by photographic means. Template is fairly narrow in its default state.
