What a great week for posters this is turning out to be! Choosing which one to feature turned out to be a difficult decision indeed. But this poster, advertising Saturday's Amsterdam Bar bill of Little Birds and Matthew Gray, Delves... is my favorite of the pieces I've seen. The designers are Matt Brinker and Connor Hill of Magnificent Beard.

I always appreciate it when a poster manages to incorporate band names without coming off as a corny visual pun, and this one is quite successful at doing so by arranging dozens of little birds into the shape of one large one.

After the jump are a few other posters I've really enjoyed this week.
