Milton Glaser (1929–2020), designer of famous “I Love NY” logo

Milton Glaser was a graphic designer known for the famous “I ❤ NY” logo used to promote tourism in the state of New York since 1977. The logo is particularly associated with New York City where it has been emblazoned on countless items in gift shops throughout the city. Following the attacks of September 11th, 2001, Glaser created a new version with a bruised heart: “I ❤ NY More Than Ever.” Among his other striking designs were a poster of Bob Dylan in silhouette with multi-colored psychedelic hair included with his 1967 Greatest Hits album, the DC comics “bullet” logo used from 1977–2005, and the Brooklyn Brewery logo. He was the first graphic designer to be awarded the National Medal of Arts.
