Milton Glaser, a graphic designer since the 1960s, is considered one of the best graphic designers today. He is undoubtedly the most well known for his design of the famous logo “I love NY”. He actually recently updated this logo to include a black spot on the heart and the addition of the words “More Than Ever” to the bottom in hopes to rekindle the love after the 9-11 attack on the Twin Towers. Glaser’s original work, which he thought would only last a matter of months, is now considered a symbol of pride for state and since the attack, pure patriotism. The logo is now splashed on everything from t-shirts, bumper stickers, key chains, movies, to even car commercials (which many New Yorkers were not pleased about). In addition to this wide spread success, he designed the well known Bob Dylan poster, the Brooklyn Brewery logo, and the DC Bullet of DC Comics. He also co-founded the New York Magazine with Clay Felker. He opened his own graphic design company in the 1970s which got him a large variety of jobs from album covers to building art.
Glaser is most recently known for his newly designed logo for the Brooklyn Brewery, which would be the first since the Prohibition Era. Tom Potter, co-founder of the brewery, brought Glaser in to design the bottles for their products. A very sensible decision, since Glaser is so well known for his “I Love NY” logo.
