Description

One of the obvious joys and challenges of working with some non-profits is financial limitation. As with PYP, the question was always, "how can we make this beautiful and iconic using two colors and less resources?" We splurge on the season brochure though, which was focused on the kids and the feelings they get from playing.

Seasons 83 and 84  were the ones in which the PYP brand really became consistent with its colors and typefaces. Using striking profiles of the musicians testified to the fact that these aren't just kids playing—they're professionals.
