“Milton Glaser has left the Earth. But his art, his passion, his inspiration, his friendship, his legacy: They are all still here. They’ll always be here, with us. Thank you, Milton.” – Chip Kidd
Milton Glaser was an American graphic designer. His designs include the I ❤ NY logo, the psychedelic Bob Dylan poster, and the logos for DC Comics, Stony Brook University, and Brooklyn Brewery. He was also a founder of NEW YORK Magazine and ran a personal studio/ ad agency called “Push Pin Studios”.
Sadly, Milton Glaser passed away on June 26th, 2020. He was 91 years old. He had a stroke in his own bed at home in Manhattan, NY.
Rest In Peace, Milton.
Around the time of the 9/11 event that hit New York City so hard Milton’s “I Heart NY” Logo was revamped to speak about it. This Poster (down below) became extremely popular around NYC. They added the phrase, “…More Than Ever”. Later, in 2020, during the Covid-19 Outbreak, this Poster can be seen in many New York Hospitals & has became totally iconic all over again.
It’s hard to believe but this famous logo started from this original sketch (from 1976) and look at what it became!
One last thing, here’s an incredible poster he designed that became a premium-type item you could have found inside Bob Dylan’s “Greatest Hits” Album of 1966.
