Spiekermann’s Embarassment
Erik Spiekermann, beloved German typographic designer is speaking out and voicing what you may already have known but didn’t have the authority to declare. In an interview with Deutsche Welle he speaks out regarding his embarrassment of the graphic identity design for the current FIFA World Cup campaign. He is ever so right too. The only point of contention is that he advises the designers responsible to not quit their day jobs but maybe they ought to quit after all.
