Lubalin’s 1973 packaging for Geigy, with lettering by Tony DiSpigna 11 Nov 2026

Our next Open Flat File lecture is by David Reinfurt @david_reinfurt , who is working with an article from a 1986 issue of Visible Language about TOKENS. His lecture considers the shifting meaning of the word from 8000BC when a TOKEN referred to small clay tablets that directly led to writing systems, to 2026 when TOKENS is a household word thanks to Artificial Intelligence. Thursday, November 19 @ 6:30. Rose Auditorium, 41 Cooper Sq. RSVP is required (eventbrite link in bio). 07 Nov 2026

CBS 1956 election kits designed by Lou Dorfsman, ingeniously designed folding packaging filled with materials to help stations publicize their election coverage. He liked the folding idea so much, he did it again. 04 Nov 2026

In 1958, Reid Miles (of Blue Note fame) designed this stationery system for Andy Warhol. Reid hired Andy to illustrate a few covers he designed. The lettering is by Andy's mother Julia Warhola. Love the spelling of Murray as Murry. first two images are from ADC's award catalog; third slide is an image from Althea Morrison's website @commonthread_alethea 29 Sep 2026

Thank you @eyemagazine_ and @stbridefoundation for inviting me to talk about one of my favourite covers, art directed by design hero, Herb Lubalin. Thanks to type historian Paul Shaw I learnt that this piece of lettering was crafted by John Pistilli who was part of the New York type scene. I also learnt that Pistilli was part of a group of artists who shaped the various letterforms and logos for Lubalin: Ronne Bonder, Tom Carnase and Tony DiSpigna 10 Sep 2026
