A little-known tradition of pictographic communication has developed in Africa since prehistoric times. The signs and symbols represent anything from simple identity to the most profound human emotion.
A little-known tradition of pictographic communication has developed in Africa since prehistoric times. The signs and symbols represent anything from simple identity to the most profound human emotion. Pentagram Papers 36: Marks of Africa is drawn from the collection of the Spanish designer Fernando Medina, who has been studying and re-rendering the symbols since 1997.

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.
