Remembering Milton Glaser

The legendary graphic designer and co-founder of New York magazine, Milton Glaser, passed away on June 26th at age 91.

 

One of Glaser’s most recognizable works is his I Love New York logo which he designed in 1977. He was also well known for his poster designs — one of his first and most renowned posters was the psychedelic Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits poster.
