'Computers are to Design as Microwaves are to Cooking'
Milton Glaser is best known for his iconic logo, I Love NY. This became the most frequently imitated logo design in human history. After September 11, 2001, Glaser updated his I Love NY design by adding a smudge to the lower corner of the heart and the words ' More than Ever'. The smudge on the heart representing a wounded heart. The smudge being a portion of lower Manhattan where the Twin Towers once stood. He has designed and illustrated more than 300 posters. Another recognizable design by Glaser is the phychodelic poster of Bob Dylan.
