Raymond Loewy > you ....

...The Father of Industrial Design.

Get your research on, resort to Wiki if you have to. Without a doubt the most influential designer of the last century.

Logos for Shell, Exxon, Hoover, Lucky Strike, USPS, BP...the list goes on.

That sexy, curvy bottle of Coke youre drinking out of?.....Loewy.

Greyhound buses?.....Loewy.

The Presidents private jet (AF1)?.....Loewy.

Dude was prolific, there are seriously tons more of his designs that you use/see every day. Below are some of my favorite sketches from a Studebaker he designed in the 30s.

    the design of the car looks dated now, but think for a minute what cars looked like in the 30's and all of a sudden the design is truly revolutionary.
