Milton Glaser (born June 26, 1929, in New York City) is an American graphic designer, best known for the I LOVE NY logo, his Bob Dylan poster, the DC bullet logo used by DC Comics from 1977 to 2005, and the Brooklyn Brewery logo.

Glaser graduated from Cooper Union; in 1954 he co-founded Push Pin Studios, along with fellow Cooper grads Edward Sorel, Seymour Chwast, and Reynold Ruffins.
