My rekindled focus on 35mm has, inevitably, brought me to this place in time: 1966, when Ronald Armstrong, of Design Research Unit, introduced the Ilford 'starburst' corporate identity.
Representing 'both camera shutter and flashbulb', that beautiful motif is coupled with Univers Medium Condensed with a rationalism typical of the very best corporate ID programs of the 60s and 70s.
It's reminiscent of Otl Aicher's Olympic ID of course, but that was still a few years off, so Armstrong wins.
