I’ve been a dues-receiving member since 2014. The Guild had little consistency in how it displayed its unruly name; large applications like showrooms and retail displays could express the Guild’s personality, but those decorative lettering pieces wouldn’t hold up at small sizes, like on product packaging. By placing an emphasis on gesture over flourish and lending extra attention to proportions and letterspacing, this new mark sacrifices no expression, while maintaining legibility at small sizes. <img width="874" height="1176" width_o="874" height_o="1176" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2aaa55d0352d71f912c886e22fac96de26c6cc7310a398a0149adef27b42e205/IvoryTower.1.png" data-mid="45766828" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/874/i/2aaa55d0352d71f912c886e22fac96de26c6cc7310a398a0149adef27b42e205/IvoryTower.1.png" /> <img width="1600" height="1600" width_o="1600" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9296edeb8c16968b448301cbfd696db6f9288969c23d2f49ee905ed9d3129761/UPGCatalogcover.jpg" data-mid="45766693" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9296edeb8c16968b448301cbfd696db6f9288969c23d2f49ee905ed9d3129761/UPGCatalogcover.jpg" /> <img width="1709" height="1387" width_o="1709" height_o="1387" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/791b2054198ae9f5dbfe91100c82f4e40c06e8646e0784cf6dffa7ff9afa0c75/packingtape.jpg" data-mid="45000202" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/791b2054198ae9f5dbfe91100c82f4e40c06e8646e0784cf6dffa7ff9afa0c75/packingtape.jpg" /> <img width="2400" height="1600" width_o="2400" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca9a421ef3767ae1bdddcd3c126381be1dd29aa8b6ad77b0ef16705e4973e1b7/Artboard-1-copy2x.png" data-mid="35409987" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca9a421ef3767ae1bdddcd3c126381be1dd29aa8b6ad77b0ef16705e4973e1b7/Artboard-1-copy2x.png" /> https://ericdoctor.com/Mel-for-Progress Fri, 31 Jul 2020 14:43:36 +0000 Eric Doctor · Letters & Art https://ericdoctor.com/Mel-for-Progress <img width="2400" height="1715" width_o="2400" height_o="1715" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ee7b4f824815a85ee651c7abf6120da8bdfedd6eb7d84ea12c99f8a3161d2ae/Gagarin_wordmark_lockup-blue-hires.png" data-mid="78808272" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ee7b4f824815a85ee651c7abf6120da8bdfedd6eb7d84ea12c99f8a3161d2ae/Gagarin_wordmark_lockup-blue-hires.png" /> Melquiades Gagarin is a Queens native, a community organizer, a policy advocate, a father of three, and a punk rocker who ran for Congress in 2020 to fight for working-class families in New York’s 6th Congressional District, the only district entirely in Queens. After designing the campaign’s identity and website, I joined as design director and later also took on the role of deputy campaign manager. <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200"

hard — our campaign faced unprecedented conditions, as we had to halt our door-to-door canvassing and rely entirely on digital engagement, with our grassroots-powered fundraising dwarfed by our
