No one project is the same, no one institution works like another. It’s always a fresh journey of discovery, to find the truest form of expression.

Retrospective: Shakespeare in the Park

In 1954, impresario Joe Papp began a summer tradition of staging free outdoor performances of Shakespeare, inaugurating the Public Theater’s beloved Shakespeare in the Park festival. Pentagram partner Paula Scher, whose relationship with the Public spans four decades, has designed a new identity for the series for thirty consecutive summers. Each campaign is customized to the season’s theme, creating a highly visible graphic vocabulary for outdoor advertising, social media, and on-site signage.

Great design can push you out of your aesthetic comfort zone. If it’s meaningful to the client, it’s the right solution.

Curiosity is essential. Without it, you’ll never break new ground—you won’t discover what’s possible.

Retrospective: London Design Festival

London Design Festival has been an annual celebration of the power of creativity for over 20 years. Since 2008, Pentagram partner Domenic Lippa has served as the LDF’s creative director, responsible every September for the design of a new visual identity. By inventively remixing a few key elements — typography, a signature red (“the colour of London”), and LDF's simple monogram — the program unifies hundreds of events while reaffirming London’s status as a global design capital.

Typography is the voice of design. It has the power to convey meaning and emotion in a way that words alone cannot.
