Frederick Henri Kay Henrion (born Heinrich Fritz Kohn, Nuremberg, Germany) (1914–1990) was a German graphic designer. A celebrated poster and exhibition designer, Henrion was also the founding father of modern European corporate identity.
After leaving school, Henrion went to Paris and worked in textile design before studying with poster designer Paul Colin. In 1936 he moved to London, England, where he set up his studio.
During the Second World War, Henrion was interned on the Isle of Man as an alien but subsequently worked for the Ministry of Information and the US Office of War Information, designing posters for campaigns like Dig for Victory, Aid the Wounded, and Grow More Food.
After the war Henrion became art director at Contact Books. In 1951 he started his own design consultancy named Henrion Design Associates. As well as creating exhibitions, packaging, and book and magazine design, they worked within the then-emerging concept of corporate identity - with Henrion becoming a pioneer in the field.
