Landesberg Design is an eight-person graphic design practice involved in the conception, design, and production of print communications, identity programs, exhibits, environmental graphics, signage, websites, and other forms of visual communication. The firm, located in Pittsburgh with a branch office in New York City, was founded in 1982.
Our work has been honored by those organizations, publications, and competitions that recognize the highest standards of communication design in the United States: the Professional Association for Design (AIGA), the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), the University and College Designers Association (UCDA), the Council on Foundations, the New York Art Directors Club, the New York Type Directors Club, and the American Association of Museums.
Our work has recently appeared in the How Design Annual, the Communication Arts Design Annual, the Print Regional Design Annual, the Graphis Design Annual, and Australia’s Desktop magazine. Rick has written for How Magazine on why passion matters and making something from nothing, and he contributes monthly articles to the blog Pittsburgh Creative. Articles in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have also featured the company and its work.
In 1999, we purchased the headquarters of a local messenger service and converted a dingy cinder block garage into a warm and unexpected design office. The bright space has hints of old and new, merging industrial details with contemporary style.
We have funded the Landesberg Design Award since 1992, awarded annually to a graduating Communication Design senior at Carnegie Mellon University.
