The 'I Love New York' logo creators' inspiring designs – in pictures

Poster gallery: I Love New York logo
I Love New York (Milton Glaser) “Glaser created this much-copied logo in the mid-70s," says Kemistry gallery's Graham McCallum, "but it's everywhere now. New York, at that time, was a hotbed for artistic experimentation and Push Pin were at the heart of it.” Photograph: Push Pin Studio
Poster gallery: Bob Dylan poster
Dylan (Glaser) "Milton's draughtsmanship is just wonderful, as is his sense of colour. He designed some really nice typefaces, such as Babyteeth, seen in this poster." Photograph: Push Pin Studio
Poster gallery: End Bad Breath poster
End Bad Breath (Seymour Chwast) “This is a cartoon version of Uncle Sam. Seymour was the more political of the two designers, although they both designed anti-war posters – which was all part of the 1960s.” Photograph: Push Pin Studio
Poster gallery: Hugh Masekela poster
Hugh Masekela (Glaser) “You often think of Glaser and Chwast as a double act and their work is similar, but they do differ. Their styles are distinctive, but somehow they both feel like they come from the same place.” Photograph: Push Pin Studio
Poster gallery: War is Madness poster
War is Madness (Chwast) “When I was a young designer, with no internet of course, I started seeing this work in magazines and thinking, 'Wow, where's that come from?'” Photograph: Push Pin Studio
Poster gallery: NY Magazine poster

Poster gallery: No Go poster
No Go (Chwast) “This was for the Hague Appeal [for Peace] and I think would have been a subway poster, although a lot of people, students especially, collected them for their bedroom walls.” Photograph: Push Pin Studio
