AIGA medalists

The medal of AIGA—the most distinguished in the graphic arts field—is awarded to individuals in recognition of their exceptional achievements, services or contributions to the field of design & visual communication.

The first medal was given to Norman T. A. Munder in 1920. Munder was a pioneer in modern printing, and—according to Wikipedia—won his gold AIGA medal in a printing exhibition. Since 1920, many great designers have been been recognised, including Paul Rand (1966), Milton Glaser (1972), Herb Lubalin (1980), Massimo and Lella Vignelli (1982), and Kit Hinrichs (2004).
