Office SF http://www.visitoffice.com/main.html collaborated with Ogilvy and Mather http://www.ogilvy.com/ for a Paul Rand inspired visual style for IBM's Smarter Planet Project http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ - the results are bold, colourful and stunning taking inspiration from Paul Rand's original IBM graphic heritage (see below).
