Time to brush up on your design history: Pentagram asked Hillman Curtis to make a short film about them. At the start Paula Scher narrates the partners’ various comings and goings (and demises) at breakneck speed – pay attention at the back!

Did you know that although named Pentagram for the five partners in 1972 (Alan Fletcher was reading a book on black magic at the time) the name only made sense for two years, when they grew to six? Mind you, with seventeen partners now, Pentagram sounds better than Heptadecagram. Link (via Core77)
