Frank Olinsky: WTF?

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

I was alerted to a post on Gawker related to layoffs at MTV. The posting was accompanied by this takeoff of the original MTV logo.

Frank Olinsky: FRANK OLINSKY is a graphic designer, art director, and illustrator. He was instrumental in the creation of the chameleonlike logo and “look” of MTV and has created album packages for many noteworthy musicians including the Smashing Pumpkins, Sonic Youth, Kronos Quartet and Philip Glass. The founding art director, cover designer and creative consultant of Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, Olinsky is also the co-author/designer of What The Songs Look Like: Contemporary Artists Interpret Talking Heads Songs and author/designer of Buddha Book: A Meeting of Images. He teaches at Parsons School of Design in New York.
