Pentagram

Partner-owned design studio with no outside shareholders

Overview

Pentagram is independently owned by its designers: its 23 partners are all practising designers, and each acts as the main contact for their own clients.[11] It works from four offices, in London, New York, Austin and Berlin.[11] Recent projects shown on its site include identities and design for Alpha Bank, Thames Tideway, the BFI London Film Festival, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and MTA Arts & Design, which illustrates its strength in cultural, civic and institutional clients as well as companies. The partnership model means clients deal directly with a senior designer rather than an account team.
