From Pushpin's web site: "Seymour Chwast, Milton Glaser and Edward Sorel founded Push Pin Studios in 1954. The studio rapidly gained an international reputation for innovative design and illustration. Push Pin's visual language (which referenced culture and literature) arose from its passion for historical design movements and helped revolutionize the way people look at design."
