Chermayeff & Geismar Collection

at the Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives












Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar initially formed their partnership in the late 1950s and went on to revolutionize the field of visual communication and build one of America’s most influential graphic design firms. Together they have created more than 300 corporate identity programs for companies such as Mobil Oil, Xerox, Chase Manhattan Bank, PBS, Univision, and Pam Am. Their work extends from logos to posters and publications to major exhibitions including the United States Pavilions at the World’s Fair in Montreal and Oksaka, Japan. The Chermayeff & Geismar collection includes 325 posters, 340 letterhead samples, and more than 1,000 printed samples (including graphics manuals, annual reports, brochures, book and album covers, and packaging).
