New in our shop: 24 charming holiday cards from Paul Rand!
https://letterformarchive.org/shop/rand-holiday-cards/?source=Mastodon

While known for his minimalist logos (IBM, UPS, ABC), Rand’s whimsical side came out to play in these cards we’re fortunate to hold at the Archive. Now they’re reproduced in print for the first time.

Alexander Girard, dinner menu mailer for La Fonda del Sol restaurant, New York, ca. 1960.

Thanks to Martin Pedersen for the donation!

Simple illustration of a sun with a face. Encircling the sun are the words “La Fonda del Sol / 123 West 50th St Plaza 7 8800”

Four illustrations of suns with faces in a similar style tp the first image but with different color schemes and burst schemes. The same words surround each sun.

Four more illustrations of suns with faces in a similar style tp the first image but with different color schemes and burst schemes. The same words surround each sun.

An unfolded brochure with the illustrations shown in the previous images and a blank panel for mailing info (with space for address and stamp).

Marget Larsen, ad for Du Pont’s Color Council. As seen in Art Direction: The Magazine of Creative Advertising, vol. 11, no. 8, November 1959.

Larsen was super inventive in many ways – and, like most women in design history, criminally under-appreciated. We can’t wait to share more of her work.
