New Work: ‘Symbol, Mark and a Typeface’ posters
Angus Hyland has designed a limited edition series of four different posters to be given away at his talk for The Typographic Circle on 19 January at JWT in Knightsbridge.
The posters illustrate the talk title, “Symbol, Mark and a Typeface.” The evening will be divided into two parts, the first based around Hyland’s book Symbol, which analyses enduring trademarks, and the second on his ten-year collaboration with Cass Art, the iconic art materials retailer.
Lithography was kindly provided by Gavin Martin Colournet and Zen Pure White paper supplied by GF Smith.

New Work: Virginia Woolf for Penguin
Penguin commissioned Angus Hyland and his team to design a new series of five of Virginia Woolf’s major works in hardback editions. The designs reference authentic period elements but do so in an entirely contemporary manner.
The dust jackets feature abstract compositions in the spirit of the textile designs of the Omega Workshop. The Workshop was founded by members of the Bloomsbury Group who included Woolf herself, her sister Vanessa Bell, and Duncan Grant.
The typography utilises Albertus, designed by Berthold Wolpe, and Gill Sans, designed by Eric Gill, both of whom were British typographers of the period.
Pentagram Projects Featured in ‘Graphic Design: Now in Production’
Pentagram is thrilled to have several of our works featured in the major exhibition Graphic Design: Now in Production, currently on view at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. Organized by Andrew Blauvelt of the Walker and Ellen Lupton of the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum (where the show travels next summer), Graphic Design: Now in Production looks at the growing reach of graphic design over the past decade—“expanding from a specialized profession to a widely deployed tool,” in the words of the curators—and the changing role of the designer to producer, author and entrepreneur. The show is the first major U.S. exhibition to focus on graphic design in 15 years, following Mixing Messages: Graphic Design in Contemporary Culture at the Cooper-Hewitt in 1996 and the Walker’s landmark exhibition Graphic Design in America: A Visual Language History in 1989.

Pentagram Turns 39
Founded in London in June 1972, Pentagram is celebrating its 39th birthday this summer. Our London office commemorated the occasion recently with a leisurely canal trip to London’s Little Venice. As a souvenir of the day staff were treated to an edition of John Buchan’s The 39 Steps with a custom cover design by Pentagram’s Angus Hyland and Zara Moore.
In New York, Pentagram staff walked about 39 steps to their favorite urban oasis, Madison Square Park, for a lively evening of food and drink hosted by the park conservancy.
