Comments on: Classics: For Shame? http://aptstudio.com/timesemit/2008/04/22/classics-for-shame/ Mostly involving links about publishing, technology and design Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:21:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Donna Payne http://aptstudio.com/timesemit/2008/04/22/classics-for-shame/comment-page-1/#comment-29130 Donna Payne Mon, 28 Apr 2008 15:30:02 +0000 http://aptstudio.com/timesemit/2008/04/22/classics-for-shame/#comment-29130 As Art Director at Faber, I must point out on behalf of Faber and indeed Pentagram that this innovative design was not only created first, but created almost ten years ago. Good design is built to last, especially in this area of publishing. This being so, I'll happily take your assumption that the Faber Classics were designed more recently as a compliment. Clearly, this branding continues to lead the way in how classics are designed, as Penguin are keen to demonstrate.
