    Simplify, simplify, simplify. Reminds me of the ligatured to death new Metropolitan Museum of Art logo. What is it with you New Yorkers?

    Um, New Yorkers have designers whose diversity ranges from immortal works to dreck, Other Gary! I remember when New West magazine was published by Clay Felker. Why didn't a Left Coaster come up with a better logo design than Right Cosster, New York City designer Herb Lubalin did?

    Sorry; I presented the worst of the worst in New York. Please let me balance my original fair out:

    Herb Lubalin was the Master of the Swash and Ligature.

    How about the entire Pushpin Studio?

    Milton Glaser, at age 250, still designs simple, appealing, classic logos and other promotional pieces such as the Bob Dylan poster, which is right up there in recognizability as the Campbell's Soup can Andy Warhol canonized. And Milton still teaches. How many designers are committed to the Doctor's Hippo: Do no harm.


    This is "what it is" with New York designers, oG.

    Park the attitude.

    My Best,

    A New York Designer
