An Ode to NYC

Design tributes to the five boroughs

NYCxDESIGN is proud to unveil An Ode to NYC poster campaign, a bold collection of graphic expressions dedicated to New York City's enduring creative energy.

Paying homage to the spirit of Milton Glaser’s “I LOVE NY” symbol, NYCxDESIGN teamed up with 21 local designers to create a heartfelt tribute to New York City. The series of moving artworks embody designers' love and unwavering affection for NYC at a time when it is needed most.

The posters are now on view throughout the city's five boroughs to inspire and delight. The collection can be found in design showrooms, restaurants and retail stores. They will also be digitally projected in quintessential NYC spots, like Fulton Center, the Oculus at Westfield World Trade Center, and on-board the NYC Ferry fleet.

The posters are available for sale exclusively at the Poster House SHOP with proceeds going to the Black Artists + Designers Guild (BADG).
