Richard Meier x Massimo Vignelli
Johnnie Shand Kydd directed this beautiful short film of design legends Richard Meier and Massimo Vignelli. They discuss grids, Meier’s new office space, and their long friendship. Would have loved for this to have been much longer, and to get into more of a design discussion, but this will do. More here.

Pierre Bayle Foundation Identity
Almost Modern was commissioned by The Pierre Bayle Foundation to design a new identity system. They’re still working on it, but what they’ve done so far looks fantastic. Be sure to look at AM’s full portfolio. Their work is excellent.
NYC Transit Authority Graphics Standards Manual
I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy of the NYC Transit Authority Graphics Standards Manual for years now with no luck. I came very close last year when I was bidding on an eBay auction for a copy, but I lost it. I still regret not bidding higher.
Seems like these folks have better luck, because they happened to find a first edition copy in a locker beneath some old gym clothes at Pentagram’s NY office. Are you kidding me? Nope. Lucky bastards. They photographed every page and put high-res photos up on a site for us all to drool over. Enjoy.
