Abram Games Receives English Heritage Blue Plaque
One of the most important graphic designers of his generation, Abram Games, has been commemorated with a blue plaque today (3 April). The plaque marks the house in Golders Green that was his design studio, plus a workshop for his mechanical designs and a busy family home from 1948 until his death nearly half a century later. It was here that he designed the iconic Festival of Britain symbol in 1951, an emblem that was seen country-wide on posters, badges, stationery, street decorations, medals, tickets, and even embossed on soap and chocolate.
