Rockport Publishers recently released Design for Special Events: 500 of the Best Logos, Invitations, and Graphics. The hardback book showcases several invitations designed at Elixir.
Collateral for SFMOMA’s Modern Ball, designed by Elixir in ’05 and ’07, is presented as one of nineteen case studies.
Elixir’s designs for San Francisco Rising, a year-long city-wide commemoration in 2006, marked the centennial of the 1906 Earthquake and Fire for the City of San Francisco. Elixir’s fog-and-phoenix collateral included logo, press kit, stationery, programs, advertisements, invitations, website, and streetlight banners.
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts acknowledged Stanlee Gatti, Elixir’s frequent collaborator, at Artist’s Ball Six: Stanlee’s Brain. Elixir’s save-the-date was so brainy, or maybe merely zany, that the fundraising dinner sold out before the invitations were mailed.
The save-the-date and invitation for Lucasfilm, heralding the opening of their new Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco’s Presidio, is presented in all its grassy glory {Think lunch on the lawn}.
