The work

What we are celebrating, specifically.

  • Created the core visual language of the 1984 Macintosh, from the Happy Mac to the trash can, pioneering pixel art as a design discipline.
  • Designed the Chicago, Geneva and Monaco typefaces and the looped-square Command key symbol still on every Apple keyboard.

Why

Why we celebrate them.

You made the computer smile back at us, one careful pixel at a time. Thank you for the warmth you drew into the machine.
