When I leave this great world, I want my headstone to exhibit the type of design aesthetic that I value. Basically, I want it to look exactly like this one for Factory Records founder, Anthony Wilson. It was designed by his longtime friends, Peter Saville and Ben Kelly. A beautiful tribute.

thats one good looking headstone. the elegant beautiful typeface, the solid black color; it all works extremely well!
simplicity rules all!
If that headstone design is available, I’m ready.
Really nice…

Reminds me of the Monolith.
I’ve always been a fan of Paul Rand’s headstone…

Is the tomb stone a Golden Rectangle?
Looks like a business card!
A whole bunch of wills are now being amended with an extra section ‘design requirements’ 🙂
Paul Rand’s headstone was designed by his friend the late Fred Troller, a great designer and artist himself. I made the artwork for it.
