The Vanity Label is an American record label created by Nate Ruess and Sam Means of The Format, the label’s only signed artist (as of 2007). The company was created by Ruess and Means subsequent the absorption of Elektra Records into Atlantic Records Group in 2004, as The Format was dropped from the newly formed Atlantic Records Group. The newly formed Vanity Label was created to launch their then upcoming album, and Vanity Label’s first album release, Dog Problems.
