Really not very good.
Academic. Out of touch. Dry. Derivative. Early 90s.
Looks like the work of out of date c-grade ex-print designers in cosy jobs with no external reference, trying to please everyone and in the process achieving nothing worthwhile.
Not trying to be cruel, but I can't see a single piece of work on that site that is half-decent, let alone inspiring or world class, as one might hope.
- ok, I take that back - there are a couple of pieces by Allan Markman that are quite ok.detritus

‘Parvati McPheeters’ is a fantastic name.

Nice catch
How expensive are we
All this talent and expertise is available to all clients without any cost to them. So when you are preparing your budget submissions for your print products you can use the funds earmarked for design costs for other priorities.

Don't know, but I can guarantee it's mostly consisted of non-US workers. UN is a biased BS organization that can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned.

Sure, it's not very good. But can you imagine how many committees and sign-offs this work has to go through? Nightmare.
