This poster was designed by Seymour Chwast for Earth Day 1991.
It uses the Statue of Liberty, replacing her crown points with symbols like “Recycle” and “Conserve” to deliver a strong environmental message. The bold colors and simple visuals make the message easy to understand.
This work is significant in graphic design history for its use of visual metaphor and iconic imagery in public awareness campaigns.
Its inclusion in the Cooper Hewitt collection reflects its lasting value in the design community.
