Milton Glaser: The influential American graphic designer Passed Away

Milton Glaser, the creator of the "I ♥ NY" logo, died at the age of 91.
The logo rapidly gained recognition across the world and the logo made for a 1977 tourism campaign and has been described as the most frequently imitated in history.

After the 9/11 attacks, Glaser released an amended version of the logo that featured a bruised heart and read “I ♥ NY MORE THAN EVER”.
He has also made a popular Bob Dylan poster with psychedelic eyes.

His poster of Bob Dylan featured a silhouette of the musician based on a self-portrait by Marcel Duchamp and brightly coloured locks of hair borrowed from Islamic art.
