Ted DeCagna has earned a BFA degree in Graphic Design and Art Direction at one of the leading design colleges in the country, the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY. Since 1988, Ted has operated a graphic design studio in Cranford, NJ, which is only 16 miles from New York City. Ted was fortunate enough to study with several of the industry’s best New York designers including Ray Barber, David Epstein, George Klaber, Charles Goslin and David Gates to name just a few.
“Ray Barber was the most skilled typographic craftsman I have ever seen in the industry”. “ Ray designed gorgeous hand lettered logotypes for dozens of major corporations and products including his most famous logotype for the movie Saturday Night Fever”. Ray Barber was one of mentors. His incredible typographic works continue to be an inspiration for Ted for many years later. Ray Barber’s work has been a major influence on Ted’s very unique hand-lettered logo designs that have earned Ted many design awards for his own totally unique custom lettering. Hand lettering often called calligraphy is a specialized art form and combined with Ted’s talent creating striking symbols combined with hand lettering, make Ted’s design creations very extraordinary, unlike many simple computer generated logo designs being sold in the industry.
