The Detroit I Love : Icon Calendar

A forefather of underground nightlife who lives in the shadow of Michigan Central Station, Steven Reaume is a promoter, designer, and publisher. His minimalist design aesthetic has been a defining part of the art, music and club evolution of the city since the birth of the electronic music scene, and has influenced three generations of designers, both locally and internationally. His latest series, ICON, designed for The Detroit I Love project, represents locations in Detroit which have influenced him and, in many cases, have simultaneously become mainstream and underground cultural landmarks and flashpoints of debate. In his designs for ICON, Reaume distills these familiar touchstones into their essential forms, opening them up to new interpretations, new values for an icon-centric contemporary culture.
