- This colophon appears in 'Cedric Price: Architectural Association Works II' and was designed by Price himself. The colophon consists of numerous graphical "icons" and symbols important to Price, interspersed with text crediting the people who were involved with its layout, publication, and inspiration. This reprographic copy is apparently in process, since it is marked-up with red pencil, and bears an inscription "I think it's wonderful ?".
