ABOVE: For almost 30 years (1928-1957), readers recognized the Journal by its trademark orange cover. The choice of orange in 1928 presaged the Journal's impending rise in status over the next decade under the leadership of Mazÿck Ravenel, editor from 1924 to 1940. The seal and motto of the American Public Health Association started being featured prominently during World War II.
None
FAR LEFT: During its first year (1911), the Journal was published under a different name: The Journal of the American Public Health Association. From 1911 to 1928, the Journal's cover wavered in the grays and blues with some slight variations in color and design.
None
Images appeared on the Journal's cover for a brief spell in 1985 to celebrate the Journal's diamond anniversary. The various pictures highlighted certain aspects of 19th and 20th century public health. Cover images, however, were discontinued at the end of that anniversary year. Image source: National Library of Medicine.
None
Between 1957 and 2001, the cover changed 4 times (not including 1985) from teal green to a white cover with multiple variations. In 1991, the Journal adopted a salmon pink border, the color of the public health degree with a standard table-of-contents on the cover. In August 2001, the Journal adopted its current look.
