Graphic Designer Zach Fannin created an original logo inspired by the bronze doors on many of John Lautner's private residences—especially the Reiner house. To me, those doors have always felt like a brutalist exploding sun, which somehow captured the show's spirit: bold, cinematic and a little offbeat. Seth, a big fan of mid-century design, and Saul Bass in particular, was closely involved in the process. Zach and I reminisced that designing this logo felt like our version of that Saturday Night Live sketch with Ryan Gosling and the Papyrus font— hundreds of variations, tiny adjustments, near madness. After over one hundred iterations, we found the one. That logo became a core design element across the set, appearing in the custom textile blocks, on window screens and in subtle graphic details throughout the executive offices. Curating Continental's Legacy: Set Decoration and Art Set decorator Claire Kaufman played a pivotal role in bringing the world of Continental Studios to life, curating each space to reflect the studio's storied past and the layered narratives of its characters. Her approach seamlessly blended iconic Hollywood history with contemporary design, ensuring every detail felt authentic and relevant. Claire's team designed and built nearly all of the executive office furniture within a tight 6-week window—a feat of craftsmanship and commitment. At the center of it all was Matt Remick's 10-foot walnut desk, exuding power and polish. It was surrounded by glass-walled offices that emphasized the show's theme of transparency—where everyone is both observer and observed. The art selections enriched the narrative: Custom paintings lined the conference rooms and executive spaces, including a standout F. MATT'S DESK. CONSTRUCTION DETAIL DRAWING BY ADAM MULL. G.
