We were sorry to hear of the death of John Miles, a long-standing friend of the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication, and a one-time External Examiner for our undergraduate programmes. We are proud custodians of the Banks and Miles archive that contains examples of partners Colin Banks and John Miles, including their work on corporate identity for London Transport, British Telecom and the British Council.

See The Guardian obituary, featuring examples from the archive.
