But do you love New York?

Since its creation in 1977, Milton Glaser's "I Love New York" logo has been one of the most recognized and imitated pieces of graphic design.

And now I see it being adapted and used by culturedays. This was a weekend (September 28-30, 2012) to "create, participate & celebrate" culture.

I expect to continue seeing knockoffs of this iconic design for years to come. One of the more interesting re-imaginings of the design was a 2001 expansion on the original by Mr. Glaser himself.

In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks he expanded on the original idea with the addition of "More Than Ever" to the original design and added a black spot to the lower left of red heart, about the position of the World Trade Center on the island on Manhattan.
