Working in Unison Toward Our Strategic Futures
Logo iteration by Ethan Hart, DAAP Communication Design '24
Our tagline, Working in Unison Toward Our Strategic Futures, highlights Dean Jachna’s commitment to advancing research capabilities. It reflects the idea that, as individuals, as distinct schools, and as a unified UC DAAP, we continuously collaborate in a circular, purposeful process of design and creation—pushing towards the next frontier at local, national, and global levels.
Meet Brendán Murphy
We are thrilled that this year's DAAPworks design is once again inspired by alumnus, Brendán Murphy.
Brendán is a Senior Partner and Global Creative Director at Lippincott. With a rich background hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Brendán brings over 30 years of unparalleled expertise in visual and verbal design, a significant portion of which was honed during his tenure at Lippincott.
While his brand work is a staple of everyday consumer life, perhaps most iconic is his design of the universal access symbol for the sight, hearing and physically impaired, now used by cities and organizations around the world.
