60 Years of Logos: How Chermayeff & Geismar Helped Craft the Modern Corporate Identity
In the history of graphic design, only a few players hold the keys to the golden gates—players responsible for shaping the identities and aesthetic of many of the brands surrounding us today. It would be impossible to have that conversation without bringing up graphic designers Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar of Chermayeff & Geismar (now Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv).
Since founding their agency over 60 years ago, the pair have designed some of the most timeless and enduring logos and corporate identities that are still immediately recognizable in the modern age. Among others, these include Pan AM, Chase Bank, the Smithsonian Institute, NBC, Mobil, National Geographic, The Museum of Modern Art, and countless others.
Along with Massimo Vignelli, Paul Rand, and Saul Bass, Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar were responsible for shifting the importance of graphic design (and design in general) from a “commercial art” to a business tool in the 1960s. One only needs to look at the biggest players in the modern business landscape today to see that they were onto something.
Sadly, Ivan Chermayeff passed away from natural causes due to complications from diabetes earlier this month. He was 85.
In this last interview with Chermayeff and Geismar from AIGA, we get a behind the scenes look at what it took to put design on the map back in the 1960s—from those who knew how to do it best:
