Mastheads of The Times Newspaper

At the newspaper where I used to work, the publisher insisted that the name on the front page was called a "nameplate" or "flag."

The "masthead" is the box, usually on an inside page, with the name of the publisher, editor, etc.

The Times used to be a respected news paper.

(And when I say 'typography', I'm of course including lettering in that as well)

God I love typography. Thank you very much for this! If you find any more interesting sites related to typography or typesetting, I'd greatly appreciate it!
