National Parks Brochures
Came across the National Parks brochures I collected on an epic road trip through the southwest 12 or so years ago. The system, designed by Massimo Vignelli in 1977, is an awesome example of gridness. And it’s still in use today, although as you’ll see in the last two slides, with Myriad (I think) instead of the original Helvetica.

Thanks again, Shawn, for sharing your collection! I’m mystified by the use of Myriad for the Joshua Tree brochure.

I’m sure it was a case of “refreshing” the system!
