icons of icons



chermayeff & geismar is a design firm famous for their icons and branding for huuuuuuge clients: pbs, national geographic, nbc, barney's, pan am, the museum of modern art, etc etc etc. the AIGA (american institute of graphic arts) has a great online design archive (with an impressive interface, duh) with some of c&g's work since the beginning, 1957. although i'm not a big fan of some of their corporate clients (chase bank, mobil, marlin firearms), still have to admit it's great/effective design. damn, they must make so much fucking money! here are some of my faves:

New York Botanical Garden Conservatory poster 1978


Machito and his Orchestra 1957
