Fred Troller




Fred Troller (1930-2002) was born in Zurich in 1930 and graduated from the Zurich School of Design in 1950. He worked for Geigy Chemical Corporation and later established his own design studio in New York specialising in logos, advertising, annual reports and book sleeves for clients like Exxon, General Electric, I.B.M and Doubleday. His style was typically Swiss; manipulating geometric forms with large Sans Serif typefaces. The work he designed for Geigy and the work he carried out in the US helped define the Swiss legacy in many US design agencies in the 60s and beyond. Great work from a true design genius.
