  • A Shelby Floyd-designed flyer for Tone Madison's 10-year anniversary party. Top right of the image reads "12.06.24 Gamma Ray Bar" with "10 years of independent culture and politics reporting" underneath. Top left of the image is Tone Madison's logo. Beneath those lines of text are the names of the event performers, which are presented in three lines of text. From left to right, in descending order: carisa, Evan Woodward, DJ Mu, Avoidancepolicy, Holly and the Nice Lions, Cult of Lip. A big number 10 with a birthday hat rests atop a birthday cake with 10 lit candles in the flyer's main illustration. The number 10 is in the same design as the Tone logo. The birthday hat is on fire. A QR code with underlining text that reads "$20 advance, $25 door," and a circle that says "Doors 6 PM," surround the main image. The bottom lines of text read "DJs 6:30, Bands 7, sponsored by union cab-cop." The Union Cab logo appears near the bottom right hand corner. Maroon confetti flecks are scattered through the image's entirety, which is set against a grayish backdrop.
