Juneteenth
Summerstage
Brand: Live Nation
Design: Michael Brennan
I was honored to make this flyer for a very special Summerstage show.
The typeface is Bayard, by Vocal Type. It’s inspired by signs from the 1963 March On Washington For Jobs and Freedom and named for Bayard Rustin, the principal organizer of the march. Rather than summarize Bayard’s life of activism, I’ll just say that if you need a refresher, don’t hesitate to google him. His impact and legacy across civil rights, workers’ rights, and gay rights cannot be overstated. And if, like me, you love historically significant typographic homages like this, check out Vocal Type.
