Massimo Vignelli + Associates is one of the most prolific design firms in history. Massimo and his team have designed everything from identity systems, to furniture, to books. Not the least of his work is something that you might have seen on vacation, while at a National Park. Maybe it was the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountain National Park, or Acadia. It doesn’t matter, they all have a common atribute, the Vignelli designed UniGrid system of publications. It’s the black banded, white Helvetica books, pamplets and brochures. Peter Merholz noticed, and he’s done quite a nice job documenting his discovery.
