era404... they are human. they don't always create something that is great. btw... I know Paula Scher did they NY Philharmonic logo, but I'm not sure who did the other logos I've mentioned.
No one designer is ever beyond criticism... not Glaser, Bass, Rand, Lubalin, Aicher, Weingart or anyone.
As designers we need to get beyond hero worship, discuss each piece on its merits and try to constantly improve.
We can also look through an entire thread before commenting and realise this post for what it really was – A rant fueled by sleep deprivation that I've since explained in more detail, and with less loaded terminology than I first used.

Sorry, Amicus, I disagree 100%. Paula Scher and Michael Bierut are geniuses.

CB... great catch there, although they did improve on it slightly by making me think of kidney pie... :)

It's not just their work that has inspired for the last 20 years... there is a lot more to it than that

fate_ c'mon, Pentagram aren't nearly as 'stylish' or 'trendy' as 2advanced.
Pentagrams work is founded on the basic principles of graphic design. Their print work is generally good, if not groundbreaking, but their recent logo work is uninspired, stale and boring.
2advanced on the other handle is all style over substance and looks out of date in only a couple of years, if not earlier.
- What are you talking about? I Just viewed their site and was teleported 50 years into the futurekalkal

Face it, Pentragram is the equivalent now of what 2advanced will be in 20 more years. You'll all be harping on about how "classic" and "timeless" 2advanced websites are in 2029.
