Walter Ballmer was a Swiss graphic designer who is best known for designing the Olivetti logo. He recently passed away, so it’s only fitting that I mention him here. He amassed an incredible body of work. There’s a great post on Thinking Form featuring some of his great work.
and to think i’ve got an olivetti valentine lost somewhere in my house… (not that this has anything to do with anything)
anyway, i miss design being “pure” like that.
