Redmond Schwartz Mark Design has been working with the County of Los Angeles Libraries to design and establish a new master sign program for all of the libraries within the Los Angeles County. Many of the team members at the studio, headed up by principal, Martin Schwartz, were involved in the research, design, and creation of the sign program which will be implemented into the current library system.

Redmond Schwartz Mark Design, along with the UC Riverside Development Team and students at UC Riverside are working together to design the environmental graphics for the student commons that will create a space where the students can hang out and productively use all the resources that are available to them on campus. Wayfinding, environmental graphics, and branding are all elements that the team are designing in order to create an innovative and exciting atmosphere for the UC Riverside students, faculty, and staff.

The signs and graphics at The Promenade Bolingbrook, in Bolingbrook, Illinois was awarded 3rd Place in Sign Web’s 2008 International Sign Contest. Midwestern charm, local flora and fauna, and Arts & Crafts style architecture were the inspirations used to transform The Promenade Bolingbrook into a vibrant, open-air retail town center. RSM Design was commissioned to create the identity, architectural branding, specialty graphics, and wayfinding for this new project south of Chicago. From the monarch butterfly-inspired logo, hand painted murals, original stained glass creations and branded manhole covers, every detail was designed to transport the visitor to a simpler time when every town had a sense of place, pride, and community.

RSM Design was just awarded identity sign designs for the first Formula One “Race Day” at Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Included in the scope of the project that RSM will be designing is the wayfinding and graphics that will lead visitors to the Ferrari World Amusement Park. A few of the team members in the office took a field trip to the Newport Beach Ferrari Dealership to research the history, design, and make of these extraordinary racing machines. The guys in the office spent the afternoon admiring and drooling over the abilities, speed, and beauty of the cars.

Harry went kicking and screaming (out of excitement!) to a rainy northern Italy to attend the opening of Sonae Sierra’s latest exciting shopping destination – Gli Orsi, located in Biella, Italy.  The team at RSM Design worked with Laguarda.Low Architects, and the development team from Sonae Sierra to design a comprehensive wayfinding and identity program all focused around the local sport’s team icon of the bear. Sculptural bears were used throughout the project and even hidden in decorative wall patterns. Ciao bears!
