Moon Safari is the debut album by French electronic duo Air. Featuring the singles “Sexy Boy”, “Kelly Watch the Stars” and “All I Need”, the album was a huge critical success and a landmark title in the downtempo genre. The album design is by Mike Mills.

The artist name uses ITC Pioneer. The A has been modified, with the top left corner of the glyph and the counter being changed to right angles. The length of the shadows have also been extended. All other text on the cover, back cover and inner sleeve use Eurostile.

In 2021, Dave Depper of Death Cab for Cutie released a cover album covering Moon Safari. It seems the designer of the new logo, Katie Geppert, was unaware of the original font, so modified a different font (Sporty Pro Xbold?) to look like ITC Pioneer.
