I couldn't quite place my finger on this group. They are obviously prestigious and highly regarded, with collaborations with designers such as Muller Brockmann in the past.
Beyond this I picked out this series of poster designs for classic cinema films. Some of them are truly beautiful and are produced though collaboration with art directors, designers and specialist printers. The Maltese Falcon poster is technically brilliant in terms of print and typography.
Another example of typography merging with hand print is the Raging Bull poster. The words themselves are full of character and provoke strong impact alone. I just love the heirarchy and colour, there are so many levels of detail on a large scale image of this. I would be happy to get a copy.
The poster on the left was designed by Muller Brockmann unsurprisingly. I am not sure how I feel about it, I am sure I have seen this exact design on another piece of his work, and that is essentially the problem with those pesky modernists. Just as you start to love it and understand it you have the parallel realisation that its all the bloody same. I do however like the opposing perspective of image and type, moving in different directions. This created tension and hold the eye for some reason.
