Our recent project for Yankee Stadium appears in the initial issue of segdDESIGN in 2010 with a six page spread entitled, “Yankees Go Home.” In the article, the Stadium’s signage, graphics, and museum are discussed from a vantage point about how our firm provided “context in another kind of American monument: the baseball cathedral.”

Our signage and wayfinding system for the RBS headquarters in Stamford CT, designed by a C&G Partners team led by Keith Helmetag and Amy Siegel, appeared recently in the New York Times. Below, top executives of the Bank posing beneath the monumental lobby sign wall.

One visible new part of the firm’s ongoing signage and wayfinding design project at One Bryant Park recently attracted attention from real estate blog Curbed NY. The write up wryly notes that these “simple letters in stainless steel” not only identify the location of Bank of America’s new HQ on the corner of 42nd Street and 6th Avenue, but also “remind everyone who’s in charge” and mark “where the money can be found.” Below, some images of part of the work in progress: the main sign in dimensional steel, with the inside surfaces of the letterforms in stark white.
The project, developed by the Durst Organization with collaborating architects Cook+Fox, and led on our side by Partner Keith Helmetag and Associate Partner Amy Siegel, also includes the newly reopened and revamped Henry Miller’s Theatre.

The Yankees solidified their 27th World Series title in their new stadium last night against the Phillies, with a final score of 7 to 3. In response, we’ve updated our video chronicling the the firm’s design process for Yankee Stadium’s graphics, signage and wayfinding program, and museum exhibits, with a new ending: 2009 Champs.

This video was prepared for an AIGA/NY lecture just a few weeks ago, but seems even more appropriate to post here during the current playoffs. C&G Partners created the graphics, signage, wayfinding and museum exhibits at the all-new Yankee Stadium in New York City. This short, fast-paced piece shows how the entire design program comes together across the entire Stadium. (Go Yankees!)

C&G Partners’ project for Henry Miller’s Theatre is profiled in the most recent East edition of the Architect’s Newspaper. The article mentions the firm’s engagement to design the signage and wayfinding throughout and around this New York institution, including the curtain of “kinetic sequins” displaying Miller’s visage located in the through-block by the theater.

The firm’s graphics, signage program and museum for Yankee Stadium were profiled in the September 2009 issue of GDUSA magazine. Excerpts: the firm “captured the origins of the 1923 stadium in a contemporary setting,” and “the Yankee brand experience was apparent in every aspect of the venue.”

The signage, architectural graphics and museum exhibits designed by the firm for Yankee Stadium appear in the September 2009 issue of Interior Design magazine. As the Yankees continue a successful 2009 season, we are honored to have collaborated with them and with the design and construction team — Populous, Tishman Speyer, Turner Construction and many others — that created the new Stadium.
Henry Miller’s Theatre in New York City opens tonight to much fanfare with the first preview performance of “Bye Bye Birdie.” Working closely with the architects, Cook+Fox, C&G Partners created a sign program for this state of the art theater housed behind a restored landmark facade.
Among the many financial services mergers to take place in 2009, the combining of Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney in early summer created an industry-leading global wealth manager with over 1,000 branches in the United States and significant international presence. The debut of this combined financial entity was rolled out with its new brand identity, created by C&G Partners.
The current issue of SEGDdesign, the magazine of SEGD, is a special 25th issue that looks back on the success of the magazine, first launched 7 years ago. Since its inception, the magazine always has showcased the winners of the annual SEGD Design Awards; in the current issue, all those winners appear again in print. C&G Partners is honored that 7 projects led by the people of the firm have won over those past 7 years. Here is a recap.
The Jefferson Library at the Library of Congress, Washington, DC:
C&G Partners has just completed the sign and architectural graphics installation at Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut. The project was done in collaboration with Roger Ferris Architects and Hines Interests (with whom we also worked on a project at the headquarters of Gannett / USA Today). The signs and architectural graphics are carefully detailed, with reflective materials reminiscent of the building façade itself.
More images to come. The project was lead by associate partner Amy Siegel with partner input by Keith Helmetag.
Local fans may not have cheered the final score last Thursday, but the Stadium itself got a lot of attention. Two of the installations conceived and designed by C&G Partners appeared in the sports pages of the New York Times that day in an article about baseball icon Yogi Berra. Berra, famous for his abilities and “Berra-isms” alike, is one of two players featured in a tableau of the “perfect game” that is the centerpiece of the new Yankees Museum.
The fans have begun to make Yankee Stadium their own in the time-honored way: by uploading digital images to Flickr. Here are some of the images fans have been uploading thus far, all of which feature the signage and architectural graphics designed by C&G Partners. In one, the custom wordmark for the stadium itself, which was drawn by the firm, becomes the star of the show, appearing live, even bigger than normal, on the big screen during gametime. All pictures by fans.
A sneak peek video tour of the new Yankee Stadium is currently up in the “video corner” of the Yankee website. Among other things, the tour features the Great Hall banners, museum, large-scale signage, murals and audio programs designed by C&G Partners.
The first baseball game in the new Yankee Stadium will be played tonight, an exhibition game between the Yankees and the Chicago Cubs, and the press is full of images of the new stadium, with signage, architectural graphics and a new Yankees Museum by C&G Partners. Here are a few images from slideshows from the NY Daily News. Stay tuned for more images from all of the opening events.
C&G Partners is working on the signage, architectural graphics and exhibits at the new Yankee Stadium, which opens to the public next month. Although the project is still officially under wraps until the public opening, images of the work in progress have been appearing in various places (see previous post) for a few months and in the Yankees official online photo galleries. Last week, this image of the exterior facade of the new stadium appeared in the New Yorker, in an article by Paul Goldberger. The architectural graphics shown in the image were designed by the firm.
The Yankees project is being led by Partner Keith Helmetag and Associate Partner Amy Siegel.
A C&G Partners team led by Partner Keith Helmetag and Associate Partner Amy Siegel have created the signage and wayfinding program for the new Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York.
The new facility, designed by architects Grimshaw with Davis Brody Bond Aedas, houses performance spaces and artist-in-residence studios.

EMPAC is featured in Metropolis Magazine this month. C&G Partners worked with architects Grimshaw and Davis Brody Bond Aedas to create the signage and architectural graphics for this precedent-setting project for Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute’s (RPI’s) Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center in Troy, New York.
Today marks the second anniversary of the re-opening of Griffith Observatory, on November 3, 2006, with exhibits designed by C&G Partners. The Observatory is the most popular public observatory in the world, and one of the most photogenic, playing a starring role in many films.
In commemoration, here is a collection of images of the exhibits at Griffith that C&G Partners designed. The twist: these were not taken by professionals. They are all by the public at large, via Flickr (link to a great Flickr slide show of full-screen images at the very bottom of this post).
There are 360 images total here, which is only a fraction of the Griffith exhibit images available on Flickr. A statue of Albert Einstein is a favorite subject.
