Tomorrow will be the 80th birthday of the famous designer Adrian Frutiger.
Over the course of three decades, he has designed numerous typefaces which we still use around today, including Apollo™, Breughel®, Frutiger®, Meridien®, OCR B, Ondine™, President™, Serifa®, and Univers®.
Just thought I’d say Happy Birthday!

I love Edward Monkton…
Funny, insightful, thoughtful, to the point, creative…and most importantly a little weird!
So really he is like most of my friends, so I think we’d get on like a potato and a biscuit! (see his sight to make sense of my nonsensical rambling!)
I buy everyone his cards, because they always seem to say the right thing…even my boyfriends Valentines card!
He does lots of merchandise and I am planning on investing in a mug for my small, but cosy new work desk!
Feel free to help me choose!!
Check out his site here, I’m sure it will make you smile no matter how stressful your friday has been!!

Typographers. You get the impression they’re a fairly stuffy bunch of people constantly striving for a world of perfection, pairing letters with beautiful kerning, a skill based on tradition and history.
Then there’s this guy at Autobahn who makes his typefaces from ketchup and toothpaste.
Hooray for different!

...is always the simple solution.

Here is a nice article about Donal McLaughlin written by Michael Bierut
www.designobserver.com/archives/023781.html
“When Donal McLaughlin graduated from the Yale School of Architecture in 1933, the centerpiece of his portfolio was a design for an observatory in New York’s Central Park, a domed building — “one big circle,” he remembered much later — that would provide a window on the heavens.
His observatory was never built. But little did he know then that his most famous design would be another circular form, something you and countless people around the world have seen millions of times over the past half century: the emblem of the United Nations.”
