Von Arenburg is best-known for his series of vibrant travel posters advertising travel via Clipper with Pan American World Airways. His distinctive style remains consistent throughout his designs for destinations such as Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Alaska and Europe. "Mark von Arenburg, whose series of at least sixteen posters for Pan Am was displayed in ticket offices around the world, exemplifies the anonymous nature of commercial design. No information seems to be available on this artist who must have been a prolific designer in his time" (Pan Am p. 170). Not in Pan Am.
