This piece honors the quiet architects of modern visual culture. The graphic draws from a CBS News title card designed by pioneering art director Georg Olden, a visionary whose work helped define the visual language of broadcast television at a time when few Black designers were given credit for shaping the industry.

During the early years of television, Olden created many of the title graphics, visual systems, and iconic broadcast imagery that framed how the public experienced news and information. His designs carried the weight of history of wars, elections, cultural shifts yet his name rarely appeared alongside the work that millions saw every night.

The phrase “Years of Crisis” becomes both historical reference and cultural reflection. It speaks to the turbulent eras that broadcast media documented, but it also echoes the long-standing struggle for recognition faced by many Black creatives whose contributions were foundational yet underacknowledged.

This garment is both artifact and acknowledgment.
A reminder that the history of design is broader than the names most often remembered and that the true lineage of creativity runs deeper than credit alone.
