So, does this means I can start an agency now and name it Designer's Republic?

I ignored them for years. Until I saw the Coke bottles they designed recently.
But I am a fan of Mr. Build's work for quite some time now.

The 1st piece of artwork i own from tDR is the emigre magazine, fuck man, it was still freehand 3.1 and shit...
The "Used and Unused" book will generate fortune for ian i reckon
RESPECT THE THE DESIGNERS REPUBLIC

Despite my joking around in other threads, it is a shame, but somewhat inevitable.
After a couple of pedestrian attempts at aping their style, I did my best to ignore them completely. I failed in that too. They were a true, single-minded, sharply focused trailblazer.

TDR is the reason why I never felt in love with Helvetica. ;)

"We all are students of this style and some still are."
So true - TDR was a huge influence on the first generation of interactive designers. When NT originally launched, I remember seeing the parallels in style to TDR, down to the "fake giant corporation" look and attitude. They will be missed.

My humble opinion.
They failed to be diverse in their style. It is true that for a long time, their style was copied and duplicated. The graduates of this style have built them selves an unique style aside from the original.
As an agency, they couldn't sustain the diversity but as a design studio with specific style, they have succeed. We all are students of this style and some still are.
I look forward to seeing new work from TDR. Maybe more modernized from its original form, i hope.
