I Love New York (stylized I ❤ NY) is a slogan, a logo, and a song that are the basis of an advertising campaign developed by the marketing firm Wells, Rich, and Greene under the directorship of Mary Wells Lawrence[1] used since 1977 to promote tourism in the state of New York.[2][3] The service marked logo, owned by the New York State Department of Economic Development,[4] appears in souvenir shops and brochures throughout the state, some licensed, many not.
"I Love New York" is the official state slogan of New York.[5]
The logo was designed by graphic designer Milton Glaser in 1976 in the back of a taxi and was drawn with red crayon on scrap paper.[6] The original drawing is held in the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. The song was written by Steve Karmen and its copyright was donated by him to the state.

- ^ Recently, researchers of the Visual Arts Department at UCSD suggested a possible reference for the creation of this logo. According to them, Conrado Martinez—an architect from Santa Barbara, California—created a similar image (1931) to show his respect and love for Oaxaca City (Mexico), destroyed because of an earthquake. Interestingly, as happened in NY, after the earthquake, Oaxaca started a process of reorganization of the users and the uses of the space, which later, in the '90s, culminated in a radical gentrification process.
