Waves of Logo Design companies have been cropping up all over the world, but not all of them are employing perfect logo designers. While making a brief RnD on list of most honored graphic designers, I just came across a piece of information about the planet’s most renowned graphic designers who have carved a niche as logo guys.
Otl Aicher, who was also called Otto Aicher (May 13, 1922 – September 1, 1991) had been a German graphic designers who is still known for his revolutionary Logo works in the 20th century. He was a lead designer for the 1972 Munich Olympics, and is also remembered for his thoughtful creation of a unique set of pictograms for the stick figures that are used in public signs.
Saul Bass (May 8, 1920-April 25, 1996) was an Academy Award-winning filmmaker and a renowned graphic designer, who is still remembered for his innovative and insightful design on animated motion picture title sequences. Interesting this is considered as the best such work ever seen. Some of the best known designing works of Bass include Bell Telephone logo (1969), AT&T globe (1983), Continental Airlines (1968), Dixie (1969) and United Way (1972).
Robert Brownjohn (August 8, 1925 – August 1, 1970) was another highly renowned graphic designer who is known for his unique qualities of blending formal graphic designing ideas with the pop culture of the sixties. Brownjohn was the one who contributed to the fullest in redefining the graphic designing ideas, taking it way ahead of the formal concepts to perfectly conceptual designs.
Ivan Chermayeff, yet another graphic design whiz, who was born in London, England, in the year1932, is the son of the Chechen architect named serge Ivan Chermayeff. During his studies at Yale, Chermayeff met another designer called Tom Geismar. Together they discovered their shared passion for typography.
In 1957, Chermayeff and Geismar met Robert Brownjohn. The three of them then founded the design company called BCG, which was famous for its sincere yet informal work atmosphere. The company had designed several book covers, album covers, corporate identities and so on and also exhibited their designing skills at the 1959 Brussels World Fair. In 1959, Brownjohn left the company, but Geismar and Chermayeff continued with their successful designs of abstract corporate symbols. Their company designed corporate identities for Manhattan Bank NBC and other prolific clients.
Tom Geismar is a name who has contributed a lot in the logo world. He created some of the exemplary logos for some of the high profile companies such as Xerox, Mobil, Viacom and Time Warner. Tom Geismar met Ivan Chermayeff during 1950s, when they were students at Yale and were pursuing research work on typeface designs. In the year 1957 both Ivan and Tom hooked up with Robert Brownjohn and started off with a partnership business. Around 1959 Brownjohn left the partnership and finally Chermayeff & Geismar Inc. created hundreds exemplary creations.
