The Society for Environmental Graphic Design (SEDG) has awarded the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority with its Top Honor Award. The Washington, D.C.-based organization chose Metro because of its new paint schemes for the bus fleet, new building fa & #231;ade for the Wilshire Customer Center and new signage and identification for bus stations, rail stations and more. The SEDG judging panel praised Metro “for its ability to create a strong graphic brand and a world-class system. Every graphic element,color, typography and color placement,was considered for its ability to communicate information concisely and consistently.” Lead designer Neil Sadler, art and design manager Jorge Prado, senior arts officer Angelene Campuzano, production manager Carolyne Clifford, signage manager Mike Barnes, consultant Jim Isermann and Deniz Durmus, photography, made up the award-winning design team.
