Creative Lives: Lance Wyman, graphic designer

The latest edition of the Creative Lives podcast features the legendary graphic designer Lance Wyman, and was recorded in September 2017, at the AGI Open conference in Paris. Describing himself as a product of the ‘Mad Men’ era, Lance grew up fascinated with clever ways to communicate ideas and concepts that really grab you. Hailed for his role in developing the field of environmental graphics, his specialism lies in logo design and creating wayfinding systems for cities, events, institutions and transport. Many of his logos are instantly recognisable, including his iconic work for the 1968 Olympics – design that set a high benchmark for every Olympics games that followed. He takes us back to where it all began, from his industrial design training in the late ’50s, to his first job at General Motors...before sharing his timeless wisdom for young designers.
