Vignelli Gala at the Architectural League

Campaigns

Program for a special evening ceremony of the presentation of the Architectural League President's Medal to Lella and Massimo Vignelli for their lifetime achievements.

On the evening of Tuesday, March 8, 2011, The Architectural League gave its President's Medal to Lella and Massimo Vignelli. The award (past recipients of which include John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Hugh Ferriss, Joseph Urban, Richard Meier, Robert A.M. Stern, and Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown) was given to the Vignellis "in recognition of a body of work so influential in its breadth that it has shaped the very way we see the world." 

The setting was a gala evening in midtown Manhattan attended by nearly 300 colleagues, friends and admirers of the guests of honor. Pentagram designed the evening's program. With five different covers featuring five different classic Vignelli quotes (in Helvetica, of course) printed in PMS Super Warm Red (the couple's favorite color), the programs were the perfect table settings for a memorable evening.
