I was thinking more Josef Muller-Brockmann - anyone got the book (Pioneer of Swiss Graphic Design) - I'm trying to find good flash based around his style.. frutiger etc .----------Muller-Brockmann used Akzidenz Grotesk primarily NOT Frutiger.
Although I rate Muller-Brockmann as a master I feel AG is an awful typeface with crap numerals.

Anybody who is familiar with Josef Muller-Brockmann's work will know what I mean!

All of the agencies I linked (other than the first one!) I would say have roots in International Style or Swiss type: simple, grid based, sans serif.
I am fimilar with JMB and the so called 'Swiss style' I also think Meta is not exactly what I'd call swiss origin.
