Massimo Vignelli said: 'Fred Troller's designs successfully combined Swiss rigour with American vitality.' I had a chance to see actual Fred Troller's work at the Herb Lubalin Center of Design and Typography at The Cooper Union in New York. I am really glad that he Herb Lubalin Center of Design and Typography at The Cooper Union did the exhibition feature rarely seen publicly work.
All the images of Fred Troller's work are taken from Corporate Diversity: Swiss Graphic Design and Advertising by Geigy 1940 - 1970 published by Lars Muller. A great book for people who interest in Geigy's graphic.
