From the internet: Alan Fletcher was a celebrated name during the twentieth century in the graphic designing field. He was highly regarded by his generation of graphic designers and the following ones, for his prolificacy and an astounding body of work.Born on September 27, 1931, Alan Fletcher spent early years of his life in Nairobi, Kenya. His father was a civil servant in Kenya but as his father’s health declined considerably, his family moved to England when he was five. Before being evacuated to Christ’s Hospital in Horsham in 1939, he resided at his grandparent’s house in West London. In 1949, Fletcher enrolled himself at the Hammersmith School of Art and then went on to study at the Central School of Art. The latter offered him great opportunities as he trained under an eminent typographer Anthony Froshaug. He also made friends with some of the notable artists of the time including Colin Forbes, David Hicks, Derek Birdsall, Terence Conran and Theo Crosby. Soon after graduation, he moved to Barcelona where he taught English at Berlitz Language School for a year. Upon his return to London, he attended the Royal College of Art (1953-1956). The same year he finished the school he married an Italian, Paola Biagi.In 1962, he co-founded ‘Fletcher Forbes Gill’, in partnership with Colin Forbes and Bob Gill. The following year they produced Graphic Design: A Visual Comparison. Some of their leading clients included Olivetti, Pirelli, Cunard and Penguin Books. In a few years, Gill left the firm and was replaced by Theo Crosby. The firm evolved into Pentagram in 1972, as two more partners joined it and some noted clients sought their expertise, such as Lloyd’s of London and Daimler Benz. Some of his major works are still used, for instance, a logo for Reuters developed in 1965, “IoD” logo for the Institute of Directors and “V&A” logo for Victoria and Albert Museum. Smoke-free home.
