EXCELSIORAMA

excelsiorama typeface designed by UNY Designers You know how they say "it takes a village"? Well this village (AIGA UNY) got together and made something pretty fantastic. Over 30 designers contributed to "excelsiorama" a typeface by graphic designers living and working in "Upstate" (not NYC) New York. We each got to pick a letter (or number) and take our own spin on it, making the typeface fitting for every wacky situation. Check out this awesome feature on How Design. This project shows the power of having fun, and collaboration. Thank you so much to Tyler Fink for organizing this circus show (also fan girl time - how cool that I get to meet people like Tyler and all the collaborators through AIGA and design?) You can too - just join AIGA! (shameless plug).
