DISCOVERING DESIGN: Richard Danne + Michael Bierut

Richard Danne, multi-award winning designer and former AIGA president, joins Pentagram’s Michael Bierut (also former head of the AIGA) for a discussion of the exquisite reissue of his firm’s 1974 NASA Graphics Standards Manual. Spearheaded by Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth, also of Pentagram (and of the runaway Kickstarter hit reissue of Massimo Vignelli’s legendary manual for the NYCTA), the reissue celebrates a lost era of American space exploration, featuring the notorious “worm” logo and iconic color schemes, all scanned and printed in beautiful Pantone® color. Join these icons for a discussion of a bygone era, from the jumpsuits to the signage to the shuttles themselves.
