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

Are think only judging from its graphic design or brand interpretation as a whole?

On Pentagrams body of work , you have the nerve to say they "suck" based on 2 logos? Are you f-in kidding me man?
You need to do some research on their history and contributions to the world of design before you start mouthing of like that.

As I have said before, Pentagram has a really interesting dynamic to their work, especially their latest logos. Great in application, questionable in stand alone.
The thing is, they always follow through projects to create an abundance of creative, dynamic collateral that really ties the logo and the brand together. So there.
- yes... the logos on their own suck... I can have that opinionAmicus

Here is a little history of Pentagram

- Yeah.. that circle emblem has been done similarly before... haven't been able to remember where as yetAmicus
- I agree this sucks. So does Ruby Tuesday.joeth
- What is not to love about that logo? The beer glass is reminiscent of the old Miller Moon logo, while overall it looks like an eye a la UBISoft.deldelesc

I like the new coors one, at first I did hate it though.

Yeah they have been around more than 30 years. That alone says something about their work.

There are no great designers, there are great sales man / woman, who happen to design.

Amicus I agree with you!

this one is better.
http://www.hillmancurtis.com/ind…Paula Scher knows what she is talking about and her style certainly permeates through a lot of their more recent work. whether you are a fan of that style is another question. They are hit or miss for me but I would not disrespect them by saying they suck.

Not everything they do is a grand slam, but I'd say the same about my own work, or anyone else for that matter. The majority of their work—from all of their offices—is well-considered and well-executed. I think of the Mohawk promotions Bierut's team did last year. Gorgeous stuff.
- in summation, they are as good as grammemagnificent_ruin
- HAHAHAHA @ rand7point34
- Hahaha, no they kick me in the teeth any day of any week. Just making a point about how we all win some, then lose some :)gramme

any firm is only as good as its recent work. What they did in the 70s 80s or 90s for that matter doesn't count if they have burnt themselves out and lost their creativity.

"a certain project might have been done according to "what the client wants". "
I despise this excuse for poor work. You never, ever give the client want they want. You give the client what they NEED. If the two happen to coincide, so be it, but you give the client what they need, not what they happen to want.
