Grear, Malcolm |
In the realm of environmental graphics, Grear’s studio has designed communication and sign systems for the Mayo Clinic, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, King Khalid City, and the MBTA, along with exhibitions for a number of museums. But his high point thus far was when Malcolm Grear Designers was selected from 500 firms to create the “Look of the Games” for the 1996 Centennial Olympics in Atlanta, as well as the thirty-one sports pictograms, the relay torch, the safety lantern, the traveling cauldron, the medals, and a commemorative poster. Grear believes his small studio was chosen “because of our record--because we respect tradition and avoid novelty.” Who can doubt that record of achievement?
