Worlds of Tomorrow was an American science fiction magazine first published by Barmaray Co. in 1963. It was later picked up by Galaxy Publishing as a companion to Galaxy, and merged into If in 1967. The magazine briefly resumed publication from Summer 1970 to Spring 1971, producing three issues edited by Ejler Jakobsson.

For this fifth volume, art director Franc L. Roggeri introduced a new logo featuring Pousse Cafe in a cartouche. Robert Montgomery’s dimensional Art Deco face is combined with wide sans-serif caps that could be a number of things, including a phototype version of Standard Extended (a.k.a. Akzidenz-Grotesk breit) with an F with bars of equal length. The cover art for all three issues was provided by assistant art director Jack Gaughan.
