About
Designer Michael Peters studied at the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts, and the Yale University School of Art and Architecture, before returning to London to work with Lou Dorfsman, and Collett Dickenson Pearce. He set up Michael Peters and Partners in 1970, and went on to work with major brands including the BBC, British Airways and Virgin, as well as the Conservative Party – whose logo he designed. The studio renamed itself Michael Peters Group in 1983, and went on to open offices in cities around the world before going bankrupt in 1990. Two years later, Peters set up Identica. According to Peters: “Good design is firstly a good idea. Then it has to be combined with everything else that surrounds it: good typography, photography, illustration.”
