Jesse Reed & Hamish Smyth, the fellas behind the wonderful 1970 NYCTA Graphics Standards Manual reissue, have announced a new Kickstarter for the reissue of the 1975 NASA Graphics Standards Manual.
The original manual was created in 1975 as part of a NASA redesign done by Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn, and it’s an important piece of American graphic design history. I’ve been on the lookout for years for a copy of the manual, but I still haven’t be able to find one. It’s super rare. That’s what makes this project so great. The manual will now be available to the general public, so everyone will get to enjoy it.
The reissued manual will be based on the Danne’s personal copy, and should ship in March 2016. Jesse and Hamish did an incredible job on the NYCTA manual, so I’m sure this reissue will be just as good. I’m definitely backing the project.
Here are the specs:
Spin has recently design this new identity for The University for the Creative Arts in England, that is based on the simple stencil. The identity will be applied to stationery, website, print, motion graphics, signage, and environmental graphics.

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.
London designer, Hana Tanimura, has created this beautiful set of prints based on the international maritime signal flags. I’ve always loved the minimal and geometric design of the signal system, so it’s great to see them available as high-quality prints.
Each flag is a Giclée print on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper, in an edition of 20, each signed and numbered. The prints are available in A2, A3 and A4 sizes.
