The Tony Award trophy gets a redesign (spoof)
“…The Tony statue, designed by Herman Rosse in 1949, is a pedestal with a hanging medallion that is etched on one side with the masks of comedy and tragedy and on the other with the profile of the actress and director Antoinette Perry, the award’s namesake and a founder of the American Theater Wing…Concepts for the New Tony varied wildly: Milton Glaser’s squat figure, Jonathan Adler’s golden banana, Winterhouse’s applause sign with audio…” —excerpt from And the Banana Goes To…  article in NYT
We really like the humor in Milton Glaser’s new ‘Tony’ design and the bold “Applause” trophy by Jessica Helfand & Knowlton (Winterhouse) , and Pensa presents a beautiful concept.
