			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Catching some office gossips like San Francisco designers being the best among international design offices like Pentagram and MetaDesign, I was curious to see who exactly was or were partner-in-charge at Pentagram San Francisco. In comes <strong>Robert Brunner</strong> (the other Pentagram partners are <a href="http://www.pentagram.com/en/partners/kit-hinrichs.php">Kit Hinrichs</a>, designer and <a href="http://www.pentagram.com/en/partners/lorenzo-apicella.php">Lorenzo Apicella</a>, architect).</p>
<p>Reading about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Brunner">Mr. Brunner</a> on wikipedia, I was startled to find out that he leads a team at <strong>Ammunition LLC</strong>, just after reading that he had joined Pentagram in 1996. Browsing the <a href="http://ammunitiongroup.com">Ammunition website</a>, I found out he is no longer with Pentagram, since he left with his team to form his own company in july 2007 (<a href="http://www.dexigner.com/design_news/9939.html">press release</a>). In 2008 he was joined by two other top professionals, Creative Director Brett Wickens and Band Strategist Matt Rolandson, both former leaders from MetaDesign San Francisco.</p>
<p>The interesting thing is that Mr. Brunner was previously the Director of Industrial Design at Apple, between 1987-1996, and was the one that hired and later proposed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ive">Jonathan Ive</a> as director after his departure (you can watch the youtube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqJVHe6LN4E">interview</a>).</p>
<p>Ammunition specializes in product design, identity design and interaction design, and you can easily see from their portfolio their work is of highest quality. And of course, they have a smart, classy logo.</p>
