There's a new poster around campus for the upcoming George Nelson symposium at the Yale School of Architecture. It features his iconic ball clock design (start reading "georgenelson" from 12 o'clock) and simple typography for all of the supplemental information. As do all of the posters designed by Pentagram for YSOA's lecture series, this piece features a one-off "Y" mark: in this version, the letterform is composed of clock hands! Nelson, who was trained as an architect and served as Director of Design for Herman Miller primarily in the 1950s and 60s, created some of the most recognizable midcentury home furnishings, including the swagged-leg series and wooden slat bench.
