For the first Platform Summit, recently held at the MIT Media Lab, Pentagram’s Eddie Opara has developed a logotype, identity and signage, using MuirMcNeil’s ThreeSix 11 typeface. The application extends to screen and mobile / tablet based content.
Makr Shakr was an installation at this year’s Google I/O conference that used robotic barmen to mix drinks in approximately one googol (that’s 10 to the power of 100) different crowd-sourced combinations. Developed by the MIT Senseable City Lab, the project featured an identity, web application and data visualization designed by Pentagram’s Eddie Opara and team. MuirMcNeil’s ThreeSix 11 typeface is a core component of the data visualisation elements of the project.
Paul McNeil and Hamish Muir discuss the background to the ThreeSix type system project in this interview with Erik Spiekermann for FontFont’s ‘Talking Types #01’.
MuirMcNeil are pleased to announce that FontFont have released the ThreeSix type system in OT, Offc, Web and App+ formats; Standard and Pro versions. The release also includes a new monospaced version of ThreeSix.
Nick Kapica, principal of SV Associates Berlin and Senior Lecturer in Typography at the College of Creative Arts at Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand, has used MuirMcNeil’s ThreeSix 31 typeface cast in concrete to create the entrance to the Te Ara Hihiko studio building.
MuirMcneil’s ThreeSix optical/geometric type system has won a Premier Award from the International Society of Typographic Designers, London. Unit Editions’ U/DR: 03 research paper on ThreeSix, written and designed by MuirMcNeil, picked up a Certificate of Excellence at the awards ceremony.
