YOU CAN BE SURE… IF IT’S WESTINGHOUSE

I’m thinking about that Westinghouse sign again.

In 1967, the Westinghouse Electric Company monumentalized their brand in an enormous argon sign atop their building, aimed across the river at downtown Pittsburgh — A row of nine logos, each composed of nine individually-lit elements, all controlled in perfect symphony by a computer. While the full number of potential random combinations was enormous, Westinghouse’s designers choreographed the more elegant possibilities into a 5-minute cycle. The building and the sign were demolished in 1991, but I’ve been always been fascinated by it, and now its memory endures at the hyperlink above.

I hammered this out after two simultaneous discoveries: the pleasing geometric analogies between the Westinghouse “Circle W” and the Ansel.tv “A Star,” and that you can run inline Javascript inside SVG files. All that’s happening here is that every 1.5 seconds, a script runs through all 81 vector paths in the file and flips a coin to decide whether each one is visible or not. It would be laborious but possible to program in some of the original sign’s sequences, but I’m frankly just not patient enough for that — I’ve had enough fun and accidentally learned enough along the way to call it. Thanks, Westinghouse!

Creating instantly recognizable logos such as IBM and ABC, his posters were designed to echo his theoretical writings on this art form. He intended for his art (posters) to work cohesively in the environment where it is to be displayed and homed, and he theorized how different consequences impacted the design process. Integration and harmony were a constant for Rand

I learned of Paul Rand when I attended the Icons workshop by Ciara Cantwell. I love Rands's use of simple imagery and colour that work cohesively for the environment he wishes to communicate in.
