	The NBC peacock, the PBS "everyman," the Chase Bank octagon, and hundreds of other outstanding trademarks were created by New York design firm Chermayeff & Geismar Inc. Their logos and identity programs for high-profile corporations such as Mobil, Time Warner, Viacom, and Xerox, and for preeminent institutions such as the New York Public Library, Alvin Ailey Dance, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Museum of Modern Art, are instantly recognizable hallmarks of design. Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar are legendary designers. The corporate identities they created are well-known for their powerful simplicity. Their design firm has been recognized for its high standards since the 1960s, and Chermayeff and Geismar's work has been an inspiration to graphic designers.				you might also be interested in: artists' biographies on video
