Please take a moment to be heard via a prepared letter of your choice, or by including your own reasoned thoughts in a professional courteous manner.

Paula Scher is a powerhouse designer, having worked for the vernerable Pentagram for years.
“There were a couple things that really struck me when I saw the maps by Scher. The immense scale was the first thing that hit me. Between that and all the layers of information and colour it was really mesmerizing. It was one of the few times when I was drawn into the work and really just got sucked in. I didn’t spend hours with the work but I’ll definitely visit those maps again before the end of the show. I also managed to get a gallery catalogue of all the maps. Reflecting the scale of the show, the book is quite large as well. ” Quote from designnotes

Xerox today unveiled the most sweeping changes to its logo and brand in the companyss history. This morning CEO Anne Mulcahy and president Ursula Burns hosted a town hall meeting and live webcast that first revealed the new logo and brand identity to Xerox’s 57,000 global employees.
Developed with Interbrand, the new identity is a big departure from previous changes to the brand. The new logo better reflects Xerox today, a company that has transformed itself in recent years far beyond its roots in copier systems. The new design is meant to make people pause, and take a new look at the iconic brand.
You can see the full press release and the new brand identity, including the new wordmark with symbol at www.xerox.com/news. There you will also get a preview of changes that will take place tonight on the Xerox website, when it goes live. The company’s award-winning advertising will be updated immediately. Xerox will start changing the logo on products, facilities, vehicles and marketing materials over the next 18 months.

I love the simplicity and bold communication behind this series. Each book has its own distinct visual, but also a very strong visual cohesiveness. Helen Yentus, the designer, stated that she wanted to “reflect the time when these books were written but also to hold on to a contemporary aesthetic that hopefully won’t feel dated in a few years.” These do have a sustainable vintage appeal to them.

— with no pretty slides behind him — Philippe Starck spends 17 minutes reaching for the very roots of the question “Why design?” Along the way he drops brilliant insights into the human condition; listen carefully for one perfectly crystallized motto for all of us, genius or not. Yet all this deep thought, he cheerfully admits, is to aid in the design of a better toothbrush. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, California. Duration: 17:07.)
