Studio Number One (often abbreviated SNO) is a Los Angeles–based creative agency and graphic design studio founded in 2003 by artist Shepard Fairey and Amanda Fairey.[1][2] The firm is known for brand identity, advertising, and socially engaged poster campaigns.
History
Studio Number One was created as an extension of Fairey’s visual practice into commercial design and branding, maintaining ties to street art, activism, and DIY culture.[1]
Work
Graphic design and branding
In 2021, SNO collaborated with House Industries on a new logo and identity for the Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board; the design was covered by the Los Angeles Times and other outlets.[3][4]
SNO has also produced packaging and product collaborations, including a special “Essential Artists” bottle for 1800 Tequila in 2009.[5]
Political and social campaigns
Members of the studio have created free, downloadable protest art for civic movements and marches.[6] In 2018, the Washingtonian reported that Studio Number One released posters supporting student-led gun-reform actions.[7]
Studio Number One is closely associated with Shepard Fairey’s wider social-practice projects. Fairey’s 2017 We the People images for the Amplifier Foundation were widely circulated during the U.S. presidential inauguration and Women’s March and were covered by major media.[8][9]
Related projects
Although authored by Fairey rather than SNO, the 2008 Hope portrait of Barack Obama—now in the collection of the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery—illustrates the studio’s broader cultural context in political visual culture.[10]
Recognition
Coverage of SNO’s civic branding and culturally focused design has appeared in mainstream media and design publications, including the Los Angeles Times, NBC Los Angeles, and Wired.[3][4][5]
