To promote the XIV Olympic Winter Games held in Sarajevo, Glaser turned the Olympic symbol into a ring-toss game — with the imaginary player throwing the rings onto a Corinthian-style column. The traditional Olympic colours of red, green, blue, yellow have been used to create a border around the outside of the poster. In Glaser launched a campaign to raise awareness of climate change.
Called It's Not Warming, It's Dying , the initiative aimed to create a greater sense of urgency around climate change. The campaign's visual identity features a green disc obscured by black smoke to symbolise "the disappearance of light" from the planet.

For him, the I Love New York campaign was simply a love letter to a city that at the time was riddled with crime and an economic crisis.
The simple, minimal logo was an ode to the place that allowed him to go to college without tuition fees, and where he had lived and worked for most of his life, be it for the New York Magazine, or Pushpin Studios.
It became a symbol of hope, and in a tiny yet powerful way, the image of the city. As the years progressed, Milton Glaser became a voice of reason in social and environmental issues. He felt that as a designer he was in the business of persuasion and could bring about change. He aspired to put his powerful, emotive skills towards a worthy cause, even if success was not guaranteed.
The notion that style could not be trusted, struck him when he was looking at an illustration by Picasso for The Hidden Masterpiece by Balzac. The illustration was that of a bull, in 12 different styles — from a naturalistic rendition to a reductive, single-line abstract version. The studio produced an array of design in numerous disciplines.
It also created corporate identities for several top corporations. The print graphics produced included logos, brochures, annual reports and signage.
Moreover, the firm was also responsible for designing environmental and interior design. Inspired by his artwork, the Italian government commissioned him to present a tribute to Italian artist, Piero della Francesca, through an exclusive exhibition, in Walter and Milton are co-creators of "Our Times", an illustrated history of the 20th century, published in Milton Glaser, Inc.
The work produced at this Manhattan studio encompasses a wide range of design disciplines. In the area of print graphics, the studio produces identity programs for corporate and institutional marketing purposes — including logos, stationery, brochures, signage, and annual reports.
In the field of environmental and interior design, the firm has conceptualized and site-supervised the fabrication of numerous products, exhibitions, interiors and exteriors of restaurants, shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, and other retail and commercial environments. Glaser is also personally responsible for the design and illustration of more than posters for clients in the areas of publishing, music, theater, film, institutional and civic enterprise, as well as those for commercial products and services.
For a period of fifteen years, Milton Glaser was involved with the re-design of a principal American supermarket chain, The Grand Union Company, a project that included all the company architecture, interiors, and packaging. He was responsible for the interior design and concept for the Triennale di Milano International Exhibition in Milan, Italy, on the theme of "World Cities and the Future of the Metropolis".
