Ian Lynam’s design work is an integral part of PDX visual culture…even though he’s currently based in Tokyo. You’ll recognize Lynam’s logos for Le Pigeon (and before that Colleen’s), Peripheral Produce, the logotype for Gus Van Sant’s company and next movie, Paranoid Park, and for the PDX Film Fest three years in a row.
Lynam did the new identity for YES’s online shop and way back when did the design of Red76’s Dis-Connect mag. So the rest of the world found out about Lynam and he did art direction and editorial design for Rap-Up magazine as well as corporate work for Pony, Nike, Motorola.
