TIME OUT, 29 Nov-5 Dec 1974

Nominated by Damian Wild, editor in chief, Accountancy Age:

Provocative, contrary and arresting - this Time Out cover from 1974 provided, in its own words 'an antedote [sic] to the current stream of Churchilliana' sweeping a Britain celebrating the wartime PM's centenary. In flipping the most famous two-fingered salute of all, this front page delivers everything a good cover should. It would have captured the mood of the magazine's own battalion of readers, would certainly have converted more than a few neutrals to its cause and flicked a confident 'V' at everyone else. What's more, unlike many 30-somethings, it's stood the test of time remarkably well.
