Videoland II: A Visual Catalog of UK Video Club Logos, 1980-1990

For a brief period in the 1980s, thousands of independent video libraries and clubs appeared on British high streets and neighborhood shopping parades. Videoland II collects over 100 logos from these businesses across Great Britain, from the era of the video nasties and the first great home-video boom, including shops serving Britain’s South Asian communities. A companion to Videoland: A Visual Catalog of American Video Store Logos, 1980–1995, the collection documents the exuberant early visual culture of independent British video rental. Assembled by Andy Sturdevant, primarily from local newspaper advertisements.

Coming in Fall 2026.
