BusinessWeek Covers 80 Years Of Dollars And Developments

BusinessWeek started publishing in 1929. Its covers have had many variations over the years, including, most notably, the many years when it ran a Business Indicator thermometer along the side. Thanks to current BW art director Andrew Horton, we’ve got a distinguished collection of covers.

Below, feast your eyes on 80 years of business cover glory. And for a look at 10 great current BusinessWeek covers, check out this feature at SPD.

Now, a sampling of the magazine’s greatest hits through the years — from 1929 to 2009:

1929: Notice that the magazine is called The Business Week.

1929: This was back in the day when the publishing company had its name big on the cover.

1933: Note the Business Indicator thermometer on the left side. The text is a riff on the current economic situation. And dig that giant colon after week!

1935: “The” has been dropped from the logo.
