Sean Hogan "You may not have realised it, but if you've visited Melbourne's Federation Square you will have seen Sean Hogan's work. The hip and award winning LED matrix typeface used in the signage throughout the National Gallery of Victoria, ACMI, and the numerous bars and restaurants in the Square is Hogan's design, as is the Federation Square logo - the "F" in the square.  Perhaps Sean Hogan's most spectacular appearance has been on the façade of the Square's newly opened and immensely popular and stylish bar, Transport. One hundred and seventy panels printed onto the glass louvres that make up the faceted street frontage facing onto the city's major tram and train exchange. Hogan's translucent mural is an like an immense wall of intricately layered architectural fragments, birds, clouds and forest." *
