There are few figures in popular culture that carry as much raw emotional power as Mickey Mouse.
As a character, Mickey Mouse has engendered love and laughter from countless viewers for more than 90 years in popular culture. As a corporate symbol, Mickey Mouse has elicited more complicated emotions. Both are grappled with in “Mickey: The Story of a Mouse,” a new documentary that will debut at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas, on Saturday and will be headed to Disney+ later this year.

Above: English-language festival poster for There Are Not Thirty-Six Ways of Showing a Man Getting on a Horse. Design by Marcelo Granero.So another nine months have gone by since I last did one of these round-ups. As I’ve been doing for many years, I have tallied up the most popular posters featured on my Movie Poster of the Day Instagram (previously Tumblr). The biggest surprise, not least to its designer, was the popularity of a festival poster for an experimental Argentinian film There Are Not Thirty-Six Ways of Showing a Man Getting on a Horse which has racked up some 2,335 likes to date and was the third most popular design I posted in the whole of 2020 (after the two Parasite posters that topped my last round-up). When I say it’s surprising it’s because film recognition tends to play a big part in the popularity of posts,...

Former “60 Minutes” correspondent Lara Logan is suing New York Media and writer Joe Hagen over a five-year-old article that she claims derailed her career. She is seeking $25 million in damages.
The defamation suit, filed Thursday, states that Logan believes her career at CBS News was impacted by the 2014 New York Magazine piece called “Benghazi and the Bombshell.” The piece reviewed one of Logan’s stories, focusing on the Benghazi attack, which was retracted when it was revealed one of her on-the-record sources had lied in his interview.
According to the New York Post, she says the release of the “hit piece” seven months after her story was retracted “entirely and completely derailed” the plan for her to continue working at “60 Minutes.” The suit says her pay was cut following the publication of Hagen’s piece.

New York magazine will soon be under new ownership.
Vox Media agreed Tuesday to acquire New York Media, the print magazine’s parent company, the New York Times reported Tuesday evening.

John Berg, the legendary art director, died on Sunday at 83 from pneumonia, reports the New York Times. Berg leaves behind a legacy that includes some of music history's most famous album covers — spanning more than 5,000 in total — which earned him 29 Grammy nominations, including four wins for his work on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Barbra Streisand's The Barbra Streisand Album, Chicago's Chicago X, and Thelonious Monk's Underground. Berg served as art director for Columbia Records, curating all of the artwork for the label's high-profile roster of artists between 1961 and his retirement in 1985. During that tenure, he was responsible for bringing on some of the best photographers and designers of that time — Milton Glaser, Richard Avedon, Jerry Schatzberg — to work with the label's most prolific talent. He's credited with being an innovator of album packaging, having commissioned a psychedelic poster of Dylan from...

One of France’s best-loved illustrators, Jean-Michel Folon (1934-2005) was a prodigious creator. The Folon Foundation in Belgium (his country of birth) lists among its collection “39 watercolours, 3 ink paintings in coloured and Indian ink, 5 oils on wood and collage, 1 oil on canvas and collage, 100 engravings, 50 colour tests, 20 line drawings, 50 original engraved copperplates, 11 screen prints, 15 original objects, 12 sculptures in wood, 25 sculptures in plaster, 2 sculptures in polystyrene, 70 sculptures in patinated bronze, 154 original posters, 18 reproductions of illustrated envelopes, 18 sheets of stamps, 8 Aubusson tapestries, 2 coloured stained-glass windows, 1 automaton in painted resin, 1 mosaic, 1 fountain in pink marble, 4 photos and 8 sundry objects.”

HT2FF – Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival is about to take place for its 7th edition, December 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th just after Thanksgiving and before Christmas. For four days the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Long Island’s East End, is booked back-to-back with documentaries of the finest caliber but which are not necessarily premieres.These are films that both deserve and need exposure, hence the festival title, “Take 2”. The audience is enthusiastic and loyal.
Jacqui Lofaro was herself a documentary filmmaker until she started this festival which now consumes her days and nights. Not that she doesn’t have an idea for her next documentary, but, at this moment the festival, is exploding, a case of spontaneous combustion. The festival has taken over her life with screenings throughout the year, such as this spring’s screening of Frieda Lee Mock’s 2013 critically acclaimed film, “Anita”. With a panel of experts the screening was an event playing to a packed house. It didn’t matter that the film had already had its theatrical release. According to Jacqui “that’s what Take 2 is all about. Our mission is simply to show great documentary films to our local East End audience”. This festival reaches out to the community by showing films throughout the year in local libraries as well.
This year, the festival will screen a total of 32 documentaries at the Bay Street Theater. Using only one theater venue makes this festival intimate and very, very easy.
There is a balance in the festival between social issue documentaries and other docs, and between bringing in filmmakers and focusing on community filmmakers. Indeed the first day of the festival is devoted to regional filmmakers with a “Focus on Locals”.
In addition, the festival will feature several sections which are targeted at local youth: Young Voices (short docs made by local middle and high school students), Future Voices (films by Student Filmmakers from the NYC Media Arts Centers) and Emerging Voices (two strong films by recent graduates of the School of Visual Arts Mfa Social Documentary Program, introduced by documentary filmmaker and Sva professor, Deborah Dickson).
The Evening Galas are not red-carpet-celebrity events. Rather they honor documentary filmmakers such as Richard Leacock the inventor of the sound-sync camera or Susan Lacy of American Masters or Chris Hegedus & D A Pennebaker. This year the honors go to Barbara Kopple who has been making ground-breaking docs for 40+ years. Her first film on a devastating coal miners’ strike in Kentucky, “Harlan County USA”, was an Oscar winner, and will screen to this growing audience of doc fans.
This rock-solid festival is not premiere driven. However, this year the festival was offered the New York premiere of Michael Apted’s “Bending the Light” about lens making for photographers and filmmakers, and will also feature the east coast premiere of “The Big Beat”, made by local filmmaker and archivist, Joe Lauro. Also screening is Martin Scorsese’s “Fifty Year Argument”, an HBO documentary about the anniversary of The New York Review of Books.
The closing night film is reserved for the annual Filmmaker’s Choice Award which this year goes to Wendy Keys both filmmaker and former administrator at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Her documentary “Milton Glaser: To Inform & Delight, “ a warm and insightful view of the iconic American graphic designer of the “I Love New York” campaign and the founder of New York Magazine, will be the feature film.
The enthusiasm and efficiency behind this festival abide with Jacqui to such an extent that I wondered how she did it and wondered about her own docs, made by her company Justice Productions.org. She said they do not have traditional distribution, however, they continuously sell on Amazon’s Create Space, and she is invited to speak and show the film at universities, libraries and other venues where audiences care about social issues. Recently the Reel Recovery Film Festival showed “The Last Fix: An Addicts Passage from Hell to Hope” at the Quad. “The Empty Chair: Death Penalty Yes or No,” the recipient of the 2006 prestigious Thurgood Marshall Broadcast Journalism Award aired on national television on the Hallmark Channel’s World of Faith and Values and is still actively requested as well.
The festival has welcomed Karen Arikian (former Exec. Dir of the Hamptons International Film Festival and currently the Us rep for the Berlin International Film Festival) on board as Creative Advisor, and Jacqui has put together an Industry Advisory Board of top film and television professionals. Jacqui describes board meetings at the Paley Center for Media (Board Member, Ron Simon, is Paley’s Curator for TV and Radio) taking place in the Chairman’s office around Paley’s own round leather desk. As Jacqui puts it: “Now that’s a place of inspiration”.

For the last hundred years or so promotional images have been one of the most important marketing tools in the movie industry. From movie posters, to publicity stills, to candid behind-the-scenes photos; these images have the difficult job of getting us interested in a film with a single glance.
Nobody can deny that this is a hard thing to do and when it’s done well we rightfully acknowledge it. For instance, who could forget the poster for Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction? The one featuring Uma Thurman laying on the bed smoking a cigarette with a handgun laying in front of her? Nobody knew what this movie was all about but the poster alone was enough to spark our curiosity.
On the other hand, sometimes promotional images simply try way too hard and end up becoming quite ridiculous. From low-budget ’80s horror movies to recent big-budget...

This April sees the first half of Mad Men's seventh and final season come to AMC and Sky Atlantic, with the remaining half airing in 2015.
Us audiences have already been treated to a teaser promo for the new episodes (unavailable in the UK at the time of writing). It shows a sharp-suited Don Draper on an airstrip descending the steps of a plane. Does it signify a new beginning for the character? A return to the past? Whichever, it has us just where showrunner Matthew Weiner wants us when it comes to his critically acclaimed series: guessing.
The first poster for season seven is less ambiguous, marking as it does a drastic step taken from monochrome into late-sixties psychedelic technicolour.

AMC has released the first promo art for Mad Men Season 7. It was created by graphic designer Milton Glaser, and it has a very trippy, psychedelic vibe to it.
Apparently, series creator Matthew Weiner grew up with a poster of the artist's work in his childhood home and has been looking for a chance to work with him. Looks like he found it with Mad Men.
The first episode of the final season of the series premieres on Sunday, April 13th at 10 Pm on AMC.

The groovy new poster was created by Milton Glaser, famed designer of the "I ♥ NY" logo. "Mad Men" series creator, Matthew Weiner spoke with the NY Times about the artwork, saying, "There is a dreamlike quality to it, and believe it or not, it is related to the show, and not because it's psychedelic."
The last season of the famed AMC show will premiere on Sunday (April 13) at 10/9c and will be expanded and divided into two parts.
The first half will consist of of seven episodes will kick off in the spring, while the final seven (titled "The End of an Era") will air spring 2015.

Your favorite TV shows might be winding down, with the “True Detective” season finale this weekend and “Mad Men” kicking off its two-part seventh season this spring, but both shows continue to inspire, most recently with a couple of nifty pieces of art coming down the line. Joshua Budich just released an incredible “Time Is A Flat Circle” illustrated poster for “True Detective.” This posters—featuring all the principal characters—are available for a limited time at Spoke Art, so eat ‘em up. In what might be confused for fan-art, AMC just released its artistic centerpiece for Season 7 of “Mad Men,” coming back April 13th. Milton Glaser, one of the leaders of late 1960s advertising (he came up with the I ♥ NY logo), drew up this madcap take on the “Mad Men” logo. “It really turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it would be,” Glaser...

AMC is getting aggressive with its end-of-week teases for the upcoming seventh season of "Mad Men." On Thursday, AMC debuted the first essentially meaningless teaser for the season -- Don Draper getting off of a plane in a mystery location -- as well as a similar first image. On Friday, AMC released some trippy new key art for the season, which will premiere on Sunday, April 13, kicking off a seven-episode 2014 run. The key art comes courtesy of graphic artist Milton Glaser. AMC notes that "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner grew up with a Glaser poster in his childhood home and recruited him for this colorful work. This, of course, should give clue-seekers plenty to contemplate. Glaser has primarily been associated with New York City, having helped found New York Magazine in 1968 and designing the iconic "I [Heart] NY" logo in 1977. Does that quash speculation stemming from the West Coast vibe of yesterday's tease and picture?...

The Season 7 poster for "Mad Men" is here, and it puts Don Draper firmly in the psychedelic late 1960s.
In contrast to the relatively spare imagery in the show's first Season 7 teaser, the poster -- designed by renowned graphic artist Milton Glaser -- is a swirl of color, with a woman's face and a wine glass being filled standing out among the images behind the familiar silhouette of Don's head and arm.
"There is a dreamlike quality to it, and believe it or not, it is related to the show, and not because it's psychedelic," "Mad Men" creator Matthew Weiner tells The New York Times. "That's not what it's about. What it's about is the material and the immaterial world, and that's what I loved."
As for how the art relates to the coming season, the spoiler-averse Weiner says, "This is related to the late '60s, which is all I will say about it.

In the immortal words of Austin Powers: Yeah, baby! That's what we're saying after checking out Mad Men's totally groovy new artwork for the upcoming 7th and final season, which was created by renowned graphic designer Milton Glaser. The AMC hit's new poster is loud, colorful and exuberant, totally capturing the style of the late '60s that Glaser helped to create. Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner has been a longtime fan of Glaser's work (he even had a poster of his work in his home growing up) and has always wished to collaborate with the artist. We're guessing this poster may find a spot on Weiner's wall, too! "There is a dreamlike quality to it, and believe it or...

Yesterday brought a largely information-less teaser for the new season of Mad Men. Today, the poster. Recall that season six's poster was the illustration of Don looking at maybe himself, season five was Don's reflection between two mannequins, season four was Don staring out the window of an empty office, season three was Don sitting in a chair while the waters rose around him, season two was Don in Grand Central, and season one was just the iconic Don silhouette. Season seven is definitely the most psychedelic — and it comes from famed designer Milton Glaser. (You might recognize his work: He co-founded New York Magazine in 1968, designed the "I ♥ NY" logo, and created the famous Bob Dylan poster of the silhouette with colorful hair, among many, many other things.) What can we learn from the poster? Well, as always on Mad Men, women and alcohol are the main...

The late 1960s have firmly arrived on AMC’s Mad Men. Here’s the trippy season 7 key art for the first half of the final season of the acclaimed period drama. It features our iconic Don Draper silhouette, only this time gazing at swirling colorful imagery. The poster was made by graphic designer Milton Glaser. We’re told series creator Matthew Weiner “grew up with a poster of Glaser’s work in his childhood home, had long dreamed of collaborating with the artist whose iconic style helped define the look of the late 1960s.” Mad Men returns Sunday, April 13 at 10 p.

Just a day after we got our first look at Don Draper in the seventh season of "Mad Men," we're treated to a poster more appealing to Roger Sterling on LSD. The psychedelic print is from graphic designer Milton Glaser, Deadline reports, an artist known for setting the tone of the 1950s and 60s ad world. The pouring of booze and prominently placed woman's face both speak to Don Draper, the onlooking silhouette from the series' title credits, but what else does this colorful image convey? Could this be a part of Don's rebirth? A symbol of his struggles to comprehend his two main problems (drinking and women)? Is it just a nod to one of creator Matthew Weiner's favorite artists, as Deadline implies? Unless Don himself intervenes in Weiner's carefully controlled marketing campaign, odds are we won't find out until the season premiere April 13 -- or later. ...

A couple of months ago I featured some exquisite silkscreened King Kong prints designed by the British design studio La Boca. I’ve been following La Boca’s work for the past few years and so I thought a great way to end the year would be to ask the founder of La Boca, Scot Bendall, to talk about some of their influences by sharing with us his ten favorite movie posters of all time.
Scot chose ten posters that have meaning for them as designers. “I think there have been better, and more successful, poster designs for sure—I mean, there isn’t one Saul Bass here for example!—but, the only way I could wrangle down to ten was by selecting posters that have had some personal resonance to our work. I’m also a (very amateur) Czech/Polish poster collector, so they feature quite prominently.”

There are few companies in the world as protective of their intellectual property as Disney, and anyone who repurposes their material without consent is bound to get a swift call from their lawyers. And heck, even material that Disney themselves produced in the past that may have be seen as racially, culturally and socially distasteful today remains locked away in a vault (the most famous example being "Song Of The South," a massive hit at the time for the studio that still remains without a home video edition). So it's hardly any surprise that this unofficial anti-war short raised some eyebrows. "Mickey Mouse In Vietnam" is a 1-minute, silent, black-and-white short put together by Lee Savage and Milton Glaser (aka the designer who came up with the iconic I ♥ NY logo) that features the popular cartoon character enlisting in the army, going overseas and winding up with a bullet in his head.

This beautiful poster for Xan Cassavetes’s vampire yarn Kiss of the Damned, which opens in theaters today, was designed and illustrated by Akiko Stehrenberger, whom I interviewed in 2010 after having selected her Funny Games poster as my favorite movie poster of the last decade.
I asked Akiko recently if she would choose ten of her all-time favorite posters to share with us, to give us an idea of her influences and aesthetic leanings, but first of all we spoke about the inspiration behind this delightfully retro poster. She told me how she was definitely inspired by the work of the great American poster illustrator Bob Peak (1927-1992).
“I took notes from his Petulia and Funny Girl, where things fall away to white and become a simplified graphic element. This falling away to white technique, I also incorporate into my own personal portrait work.”

Above: 20,000 Years in Sing Sing (Michael Curtiz, USA, 1932).
When I wrote about the posters of 1933 last week this was one poster I deliberately held back (though 20,000 Years in Sing Sing was released on Christmas Eve 1932, it is included in Film Forum’s retrospective). The early 1930s, no less than today—though the execution was a lot more interesting— was an era of big floating heads in movie posters. While 1920s movies had the occasional floating head poster for their biggest stars, artists and studios still favored the look of early silent posters with their head-to-toe portraits and snippets of narrative. Though Norma Desmond said famously of the silent era “We didn’t need dialogue...we had faces!” it was ironically with the coming of sound that faces started to dominate movie posters and, until Saul Bass, minimalism in American movie posters was almost non-existent.

How much does Sean "Diddy" Combs love New York? Enough to tattoo it on his left forearm in large, that's how much.
The 43-year-old Harlem-born rapper -- who got an early start in hip-hop signing on the likes of The Notorious B.I.G. -- showed off his giant "New York" ink on his Instagram page, with the font of the tattoo unmistakably that of New York magazine's logo. (A bit of history for signage nerds: New York magazine was co-founded by Clay Felker and Milton Glaser in 1968; Glaser then went on to create the now-iconic "I Love New York" logo in 1975.) Anyway, Diddy should totally get a lifetime subscription to New York magazine now, or something.

Two weeks ago, in my post about the work of Pierre Etaix, I mentioned Etaix’s admiration for the cartoonist, painter and sculptor André François, who designed a number of posters for Etaix’s films. This got me searching for more of François’s work.
Born in 1915 in Austria-Hungary—in what is now Timisoara, Romania—André Farkas, as he was then known, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest before moving to Paris in 1934 where he worked with the great French poster designer A.M. Cassandre, became a French citizen and changed his name. By the 1940s he was already a popular and prolific illustrator, working for satirical magazines in France and Britain. In his New York Times obituary, Steven Heller wrote that François’ “biting satires of the human comedy influenced a generation of American editorial illustrators...

Ordinarily, wedding announcements in the New York Times appear on Sunday, concise love stories crammed together like baseball box scores. But a different sort of marriage gets full-page treatment in today’s Times: the union of JetBlue and I Love NY in the airline’s newest ad campaign. The two logos intersect, forming a X.
It’s the first co-branding for both. The coupling raised eyebrows when they announced their intentions last spring. After all, I Love New York is considerably older, created by renowned designer Milton Glaser back in 1975. And JetBlue is still rather young, around for just 10 years. Despite the May-December romance, both agreed to make a go of the arranged union.
Money was a factor. Although both brands grew up in the New York area, JetBlue was said to be considering all of its options once the lease on its Queens headquarters expired in 2012. So the state...

I think it has something to do with my birth nearly coinciding with the launch of the "I Love NY" campaign, which includes Milton Glaser's iconic logo, but I've always been in love with New York City. And I've in turn always been in love with films about and/or set in New York City. Actually, there may be a chicken/egg situation here. I don't know if I came to love the city through the movies or the movies through my love of the city. Regardless, I moved here directly after high school, I've taken classes specifically about New York in film, I consider James Sanders' book Celluloid Skyline to be a sort of bible for my worship of both the city and its cinematic representations and I will probably watch Avaryl Halley's latest Moviefone Mash over and over and over, as if it's an aggregated remake...

We’ve all seen it, we may even have a t-shirt of it– the famous I Heart NY design. But for those of us outside of the art world, we may not know where the design comes from, and more importantly, the designer behind it. The documentary Milton Glaser: To Inform And Delight tells the story of the incredibly talented and influential graphic designer and artist, Milton Glaser. Glaser is the designer behind behind such campaigns as the Bob Dylan album cover, the DC Bullet logo and also the famous I Heart NY logo for New York City. Yet the documentary is not without its flaws, which almost overshadow the great story of a great designer.

It's Complicated: "The most revealing moment in writer-director Nancy Meyers' It's Complicated is when Jane Adler (Meryl Streep) visits her shrink to plead for advice about the affair she's caught up in. Though she's been divorced for ten years, she's recently taken up with her ex, who's got a new young wife of his own, and the resulting fling has Jane feeling guilty. Turning to a mental health professional for judgment about whether her actions have been evil or not, she's told: "It's not good. It's not bad." That's about all that can be said for Meyers' film, which is the latest in a line of wish-fulfillment movies that place as much emphasis on set design as story, and seem almost adorably unaware of actual struggles and real-world emotions. It's Complicated is certainly pleasant enough, full of happy actors and easy characters, and it's even got a few small laughs,...

Years ago, I participated in a brainstorming session with Richard Saul Wurman, the entrepreneurial whiz and founder of the Ted Conference. During our meeting he made a simple statement: "Ideas are free, it's what you do with them that counts." A chill ran up my spine. I said nothing for the rest of the meeting, for fear that any creative spark I offered would be fair game.
This memory begs the question: Who owns an idea? What's the difference between being influenced by someone's creativity or simply stealing it?
The ubiquitous "I (Heart) NY symbol designed by Milton Glaser must hold the world record for the greatest number of design ripoffs.
However, somewhere in the back of Glaser's virtuosic mind was Robert Indiana's Love sculpture a seed of inspiration?
Shepard Fairey's infamous Obama campaign poster, with its questionable appropriation of an AP photo, appears Warholesque to some. Fast Company...

Do you ever feel like when it comes to redesigns of logos we know and love, it's all too easy for the entire Internet to secretly agree to hate them, kind of like one big digital pile-on? Okay, I admit it. I piled on, too. But after I was offered a sneak peek behind the Internet Curtain to see the innerworkings of AOL's new branding strategy created by Wolff Olins, I emerged impressed.
And not just because they're time travelers who have returned to the present day with a brand from the future. But more on that later.
AOL began working with Wolff Olins in July. It was just two months after new CEO Tim Armstrong came on board, but it was thanks to another new hire: 27-year-old ex-Google employee Maureen Sullivan, who, as AOL's chief-of-staff heard the right answer from her future creative team. "We got a lot of...

The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum opens "Design USA," showing off winners of the National Design Awards in the last 10 years.
Today, the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum throws open the doors on Design USA: Contemporary Innovation. The sprawling exhibition is meant to celebrate the 10 anniversary of the National Design Awards; it includes all 75+ winners who've earned the laurel in the past decade. If you're looking for a workable survey of who's who in American design, this would be it--the disciplines included run from architecture, to fashion, to product design. The show--which was designed by 2004 awardee 2x4--runs through April 4, but this opening happens coincide with National Design Week, a slate of events that will culminate in an awards gala for the 2009 winners.
Here's some of the work you can look forward to, in the exhibit. (Above: One of Stefan Sagmeister's typeface experiments.)
