Inextricably linked with his longtime professional partner Tom Geismar, and the firm they founded in 1957 is regarded as one of the most influential and productive design agencies of the 20th century. Together and individually, the two have been recognized by every organization devoted to art and design, and the list of their awards is deeply impressive. Most recently, the firm has produced designs for the Obama campaign, Southern Poverty Law Center, and the US Capitol Visitor Center. His education included stints at Harvard, the Institute of Design in Chicago (founded by Moholy-Nagy and later headed by Chermayeff's father), and Yale. After graduation from Yale, he apprenticed with Alvin Lustig, and then moved on to CBS to design record covers. A desire to open an independent design studio was realized in 1957 when college friend and fellow type enthusiast Tom Geismar joined him and Robert Brownjohn in a partnership in New York where a pantheon of formidable designers, including Will Burtin, Alvin Lustig, Paul Rand, Lester Beall, and Saul Bass, had created a climate of strong appreciation for clean, modern design. By the 1960s, the studio of Chermayeff and Geismar (Brownjohn left in 1959) had established a wildly popular trend for corporate logos based on abstract designs, and over the course of the next 50 years produced memorable identity symbols for over 100 different prominent clients.
