I love finding gems like this.

Anton Stankowski was a Germany designer and teacher who pioneered constructive graphic design and is probably best known for designing the wonderful Deutsche Bank logo, which makes excellent use of a grid. I also love how he used basic geometric shapes to create the visuals.

David has some hi-res images of Stankowski’s work. Beautiful.

AisleOne reader Simon Zirkunow sent in these photos of some promotional pieces he has that were designed by the talented Stapelberg & Fritz. These are the same guys responsible for the gorgeous AM7 Magazine. I uploaded larger versions on my Flickr page.

Unfortunately there’s nothing on their site but Simon pointed me to an online gallery with some of their earlier work.

Ade Hauser Lacour is a Frankfurt based studio that’s doing some excellent work. I haven’t heard of them before but by looking at their portfolio I consider them one of the top studios around.
