He designed logotypes for the New York Times, Playboy, Readers Digest, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Coca-Cola, and Look. A graduate of Columbia University and long-time teacher at New York’s School of Visual Arts, Benguiat joined Photo-Lettering in 1962 as typographic design director, and later ITC as a vice president.
