Milton Glaser

This is well just the plane use of text, its not really being used in other way besides to say the message its given.


Designer Milton Glaser is the creative mind behind two prominent American icons: a psychedelic poster of folk singer Bob Dylan, which was included free with Dylan's best-selling 1966 Greatest Hits album, and the "I [heart] NY" logo, originally used in a 1975 tourism campaign for New York and still common on T-shirts and other items over twenty-five years later. (Glaser also designed the updated version of the logo seen around New York in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which featured scorch marks on the heart and the words "more than ever" written in under the original logo.) During his career, Glaser has put his visual stamp on many other pieces of late-twentieth-century life, including buildings, consumer goods, advertising campaigns, and numerous publications. He has also illustrated several children's books, including two by his wife, Shirley Glaser.
