Spotted: Summer Carillon Concert Series Posters

Woolsey Hall vitrine carillon poster.

There's a great new poster outside of Woolsey Hall. It advertises Yale's Summer Carillon Concert Series, which features current and alumni guild members as well as carillonneurs from all over the world.

The poster's visual language evokes Yale's own graphic identity: its design is simple in its adherence to a single alignment scheme and uses a minimal amount of variation in text styles to differentiate types of information, and the shades of blue, though not "official Yale," feel appropriately bright for the seasonal context and content of the poster.

A mysterious geometric mark is the sole clue to the poster's designer. (Know who designed the piece? Leave a comment on this post!)

I've also spotted a companion letter-sized poster, presumably by the same designer, hanging around campus. It features similar condensed, tightly leaded text and geometric depictions of Harkness Hall (home to Yale's 54-bell Memorial Carillon).

It's great to see these carefully designed posters around campus. The Woolsey Hall vitrine poster is particularly successful and will no doubt pique the interest of passersby.
