Shortly after receiving this degree he founded Ted Nagata Graphic Design, Inc. Nagata has designed logos and posters for the University of Utah, Salt Lake County, Utah Transit Authority, and several Utah ski resorts. In 1985 he was inaugurated into the Art Directors Club of Salt Lake City hall of fame.
