MMM.11: Did someone say Spring Break?

It's getting to be Spring Break time with travel plans “bubbling” up around us. Places like this travel agency were de-rigueur sources for trip planning not long ago. Our work for their related travel brands led eventually to a new mark and collateral for the parent company. They specialized in globe-trotting adventures, hence the basis for this shake up of their look in a distinctive and friendly way.

MONDAY MORNING MARKS.4

As we reflect on three decades of design, we’ll share some legacy logos. This mark from long ago was one of the first for our fledgling firm. This was the time of one or two color logos. We might approach the typography differently today but the mark holds up pretty well. Basic graphic design principles never go out of style. A large part of our early years was spent in support of the human development work of the United Nations Development Programme in New York and The World Bank here in DC. Both organizations appreciate our ability to organize and communicate information -- as well as our multi-language experience. Those NY connections led to our work on this joint UNDP-WB initiative. Not glamorous per se, but clean water and sanitation are the most critical cornerstones of any effort to improve quality of life in developing parts of the planet. Education was key to their charter so a worldwide training network was created.

It's been a while since we put out a proper F-Y-Eye Friday piece, but this pie about pie seems to apply. (Data from an informal survey of FB friends back on Pi Day.) #pie #pecanpie #piechart #infographics #socilamediagraphics #designDC #designDMV #commsDC
