I have much love for this logo for Yorkville Common Pantry.
Yorkville Common Pantry (YCP) is dedicated to reducing hunger and promoting dignity and self-sufficiency. Our services are provided in the Upper East Side and East Harlem to our neighbors in and around these communities.
As the largest, nonsectarian, neighborhood-based provider of emergency food in New York City, YCP provides 1,250,000 meals annually to all who come seeking relief from hunger. The Pantry was founded in 1981 by a coalition of East Side churches and synagogues and receives strong support from its forty-five member Board of Directors.
Every time I walk by it it just makes me happy. I’m not sure who designed it, but methinks Michael Bierut might be involved in some way since on the Pentagram blog he talks about some environmental graphics for the organization. Either way, it’s kind of brilliant. I hope they fix the old crappy one on the website though. Blech.
