Graphic design 1945-1969

I'm currently helping install the new SFMOMA and there's a design show that includes some gorgeous posters for the italian typewriter company Olivetti. A quick GIS for their posters brings up some great stuff:

Olivetti is one of the great designer-friendly companies of the 20th century, both their product-design and their marketing.

From that small but special pantheon which also includes Geigy and Container Corporation of America.

Still find it incredible that, from the early 1960s to the mid-1990s, British nuclear submarines were upholstered in William Morris Tudor Rose fabric. This sample from the HMS Talent. pic.twitter.com/AhNajKUZHf

Just wanted some place to lament the failure of this Kickstarter. They were asking a lot and the guy is obscure but I don't think Unit has failed before. Check out the video, looked beautiful.

posting this here even though it's after the time period. This PDF contains all the pictograms from the olympics starting in the 60s.
