I’ve never seen Cinamon’s work until now, and it’s impressive.

1976 Montréal Olympics Test Event Posters
Before the Olympics Games begin, the organizing committee has test events to prepare and rehearse things like transportation, guest services, results/scoring, etc. The design teams also test things like printing and installations, so they create an identity different from what they created for the real games. These are some of the posters created for these “test event” for the 1976 Montréal games. I’ve never seen these before. What a gem.
Whitney Museum Graphic Identity
Experimental Jetset recently launched a new website with a ton of amazing new work. One of the projects that stands out for me is the identity work they did for the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC. EJ developed the graphic identity, and Whitney’s in-house design team used the system to design all the pieces.
I’m going to have to visit the museum and grab as much printed stuff as I can. Looks stunning.
Flatmade
Flatmade’s story begins with a poster was created by John Massey for Container Corporation of America titled “chicago has a great lake“. They fell in love with the poster, and contacted Mr. Massey to print a new edition of it, and he agreed. They now are producing other classic masterpieces, which you can purchase directly from them. I’ll take one of each, please.
