About Brownjohn, Chermayeff & Geismar:
In 1956, Robert Brownjohn joined Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar to form the design firm of Brownjohn, Chermayeff & Geismar. Brownjohn was a product of the Institute of Design in Chicago, formerly known as the New Bauhaus, while Chermayeff and Geismar both hailed from Yale. The firm became known for its print work and typographic experimentation, but by 1959 Brownjohn's heroin use forced him to leave the firm and move to London in hopes of receiving treatment for his addiction. He died in 1970 at the age of 44. The firm of Chermayeff & Geismar continues to exert its prominence in the design industry to this day. Some of their best known logo designs include NBC, Mobile, PBS, the Smithsonian, National Geographic, and Chase Bank among many, many others. Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar are AIGA Gold Medalists.
