Pentagram Austin created the brand identity and exhibition design for 'Live from New York: The Lorne Michaels Collection' at the Harry Ransom Center. Inspired by vintage Saturday Night Live graphics, the team developed a neon-inspired typographic system and color palette that captured the energy of late-night television. The immersive exhibition celebrated Lorne Michaels’ cultural legacy and became the most attended show in the center’s history.
Pentagram’s Austin office developed a refreshed identity for the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin, marking its 50th anniversary. The redesign modernizes the historic HRC mark with the GT Ultra typeface, a vibrant color palette, and a more approachable tone to engage a broader audience while preserving its scholarly legacy.
