Richard Danne, multi-award winning designer and former AIGA president, joined Pentagram’s Michael Bierut (also former head of the AIGA) for a discussion of the exquisite reissue of his firm’s 1974 “NASA Graphics Standards Manual”. Spearheaded by Jesse Reed and Hamish Smyth, also of Pentagram (and of the runaway Kickstarter hit reissue of Massimo Vignelli’s legendary manual for the NYCTA), the reissue celebrates a lost era of American space exploration, featuring the notorious “worm” logo and iconic color schemes, all scanned and printed in beautiful Pantone® color. These icons joined us in the Rare Book Room to discuss a bygone era, from the jumpsuits, to the signage, to the shuttles themselves.
