I heartily (groan…) recommend Alistair Sooke’s half-hour radio documentary on Milton Glaser’s I ♥ NY logo.
Glaser is interviewed, as are Seymour Chwast and Steven Heller among others.

February 18, 2011 at 8:48 amHaving listened to this programme again, I wasn’t taken by Sooke’s breathless, verbose, Blue Peter-style presentation.
However, when he allowed them to get a word in edgeways, the interviewees more than compensated for that.
Another thing: why do these short BBC Radio documentaries – which probably run to 25 minutes all up – have to start with a compilation of “highlight” quotes which are soon repeated in the context of the interviews?
Do they really think our span of attention is that low?
Guess the answer is yes.
