I love NY t-shirts is a very popular item in the city of New York and across the globe. Also every country has some kind of mimicking of the “I love NY” style. You might be saying, who’s the founder of I love NY t-shirts? Well, it is no other than Milton Glaser, a revolutionary artist that made I love NY t-shirts that we have known to love.
Milton Glaser was born at 1929, and was a New York native. He attended High School of Music and Art and also went to Cooper Union Art School to further extend his education. Upon graduation, he obtained a scholarship to study under Giorgio Morandi in Italy. He loved exploring new graphic techniques and motifs.
Glaser founded his first company in 1954 called the “Push Pin Studios” with a couple of his classmates. As a graphic artist, Milton Glaser used culture and historic period styles as a way to create inspiration. His drawing style was very lively and witty. He helped big businesses marketing campaign on things like packaging, mailing, advertising and etc. He made a living and gained recognition as time passed from his art.
Glaser helped edited the New York Magazine in 1968. A couple of years later, Milton made his own graphic design company called Milton Glaser Inc. During that time he helped redecorate and redesign many magazines and gained many recognition and commission as a result of his talent and art. In 1973, Milton Glaser developed and made the logo “I Love NY” to help increase tourism in New York. It became a stunning success and every tourist was buying them. Later on, it became one of the most copied ideas as many countries were making their own “I Love Country” as a way to promote their own country.
Milton did what he loved and his love for art was undying. He used his talent as a way to captivate the viewers. Milton’s work was honored worldwide and my art museums hold his work. Milton is the founder of the “I Love NY” t-shirts that we have grown to love.
