Milton Glaser Posters

2018 marked the 18th poster internationally celebrated graphic designer Milton Glaser created for the Cooperstown Summer Music Festival. All of the posters revolve around the theme of a cow with a violin, a nod to Cooperstown’s rural setting and the Festival’s start at The Farmers’ Museum. The Festival is honored that Milton Glaser continued to offer his unique and varied talents to give us a visual legacy as well as a musical legacy.

Mr. Glaser created iconic logos for corporations and cultural institutions, including the I♥NY logo. His works are represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Smithsonian, and the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. In 2010, Mr. Glaser received the National Medal of Arts. The New York Times video “Studio Visit: Milton Glaser” shows the designer working on the 2015 Cooperstown Summer Music Festival poster.

I love the idea of doing things that encourage cultural events,” said Glaser of his work for the Festival. “It’s continuing a thematic idea I’ve been working on for 20 or 30 years.

Not only do they do interesting concerts, they have great posters
