Creating a school’s athletic brand
For the St. Paul’s School, its Pelican mascot conveys much about the schools mission, but they didn’t refer to themselves as the Pelicans. Recently they undertook an extensive process to poll faculty, coaches, students, and alumni to determine a formal naming convention and assigned the Bernhardt Fudyma Design Group to create a comprehensive visual branding system that reflected that nomenclature in a consistent and graphically coordinated manner for the school and its athletic team uniforms.

New York Yacht Club Christens a New Restaurant
Launched in 1949 for John Nicholas Brown II, then Vice Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, the Bolero was a 73’ racing yawl. It immediately set the pace for numerous trophies including the 1950, 1954, and 1956 Newport Bermuda Race – setting a new record for the 635 mile race that remained unbeaten until 1974.
Brown’s family estate in Newport was ultimately purchased by the NY Yacht Club and became its Newport station and clubhouse. It’s restaurant was named after his illustrious yacht and our design for its branding was inspired by the design of its hull and outline of its transom.

To Paraphrase the Beatles…
“It was 45 years ago today”….Exactly. To the day. And also a Friday.
Although we had actually opened for business in March of 1973, we did not get around to holding our formal studio opening event until the end of that year, on December 7th. In the interim however, we did splurge on a cool neon sign of our new logo. (Neon lettering was ‘cool’ back then anyway, and, as we thought at the time, so was our original name, Graphics-To-Go.) As with our firm, nearly a half century later that sign also still exists and, despite a cracked tube or two, also still glows when plugged in.
In addition to the sea change in our industry from atoms to bits, much has happened over the intervening years. To re-live some of the many events that have occurred in the world around us, visit the timeline we created a few years back to commemorate our 40th anniversary.

Hail to the old man.
This Presidents Day the man in the oval office is the oldest person ever to be elected president. However, back when the Founding Fathers decided that a person had to be at least 35 years old to be President of the United States, the life expectancy for a white male child at birth was slightly less than 35 years. Did they intend that the Chief Executive be at death’s door before taking office?

September 8th is National Ampersand Day
Originally designed as a typographic ligature for the Latin word et – meaning ‘and’ – this symbol has evolved from the more visually literal depiction of the two letter forms into the many less obvious variations in use today. The symbol’s name, ampersand, is also a conflation of the phrase “and per se and”, meaning “and [the symbol which] by itself [is] and”.

Taming A Dragon
Although it’s namesake’s mythological foe is represented in many ways around the campus and has always been the school’s de facto mascot, for 120 years the St. George’s School had never visually represented a dragon on its many team uniforms, athletic facilities or other ‘school spirit’ ephemera. That has changed with the current school year as their teams take the field sporting the new dragon branding created by the Bernhardt Fudyma Design Group.
