Apologies, it was MetaDesign SF.
Nowality is a web blog funded by Studio Pip and Co. to develop a forum that explores people, process and outcomes of the communication design relm. This activity is often done while most people are sleeping, or enjoying their weekend. From time to time, within limited resources, we will make errors, and will continue to make errors. In these instances, we truly appreciate all reader comments and feedback which assists us with the process of ensuring that our content is correct.
On behalf of the Nowality I would like to apologise to Neville Brody and Metadesign for incorrectly crediting the design of CS1 graphics to Mr Brody instead of MetaDesign SF on the post titled Nag, Nag, Nag, Brody, Brody, Brody.
At the time of writing the piece we wanted to show the diversity of Brody’s output. When the graphic treatment for CS1 in our image search appeared, was written about in three websites, unauthorised, we blindly went for effect.
The contrast in Brody’s work was always the driver for images included in this post, never-the-less we continued checking. We then accessed adobe.com to clarify this credit. Adobe had no reference to our knowledge. We then inspected the programme credits within the software itself, among the hundreds of names listed, no reference to Brody, or MetaDesign SF. We conferenced, we posted.
Again, we apologise to Brody and MetaDesign SF for any inconvenience, and thank comments from “DC”, who first brought this our attention (even though we fobbed DC off), and the comments from Brett Wickens from MetaDesign SF, for making himself known (web blogs have an multitude of lurkers and few contributors), and assisting further. We have now updated the Brody post with the correct information.
As stated by Wickens the CS1 image was developed by the team at Metadesign, San Franscisco.
One big oversight brought to light during the process of developing this correction is that Adobe has credited everyone down to the staff’s family and friends, except for, surprise, surprise, the design group that developed the product’s public image design. What is that?
Why do contracted design consultants seem to slip of the credit list with many large public projects? Try researching public graphic design output, at times it is like pinning the tail on the donkey. It is very difficult to discover who’s done what project when many large organisations obscure such information, without having inside knowledge – DC, Mr Wickens, please step forward.
