Placard in Chicago’s MSI Display
Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist, June 1947
The Bulletin started by concerned Atomic Scientists had a great display at Chicago’s MSI. Though, when did vacations get that extra impending doom zest?
From the get go, these guys knew how to use design to make a point. Here’s the first Bulletin from June 1947. World War II seems to have birthed a certain style for using simplified images and messages to get a point across. Nazis definitely had their own style — hard angles, black, white, and a little red.
It looks like everyone learned from this but … more organic colors, circle shapes.
This iconic (literally and descriptively) continues.
