Original vintage Northern Illinois University (NIU) admissions poster featuring the bold “Super U” design.

This poster was produced for the NIU Office of Admissions as part of a student recruitment campaign. The graphic comic-style typography, bright colors, and metallic silver cloud elements are characteristic of late 1970s–early 1980s university marketing.

A great piece of NIU alumni memorabilia, Illinois college history, or vintage graphic design ephemera.
