CHARLES COINER (1898-1989) OFFICIAL CIVILIAN DEFENSE INSIGNIA. 1942. 40x28 1/2 inches, 101 1/2x72 1/4 cm. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. Condition B+: replaced loss and overpainting in bottom right corner; repaired tears at edges; creases along vertical and horizontal folds. The Office of Civilian Defense was set up by President Franklin Roosevelt on May 20, 1941, although Coiner is credited with having designed the logo in 1939. "Coiner's visionary system of logo-like-symbols - effective in its logic, geometric simplicity, and capacity for seemingly endless variation - anticipated universal pictogram and corporate identity programs which would flourish in the 1960s" (Resnick p. 73).
