(Preface) Burton Kramer was educated at the Institute of Design, Chicago (BSc) and Yale University (MFA). He began his design career in the New York office of Will Burtin and went on to work at Geigy under Gottfried Honegger.
In 1961, he moved to Zurich. He became Chief Designer at the E. Halpern Agency, where he created award-winning work. In 1965, Kramer moved to Toronto to work on graphics and signage for Expo 67. In 1967, he founded Kramer Design Associates, creating identity programs for the Royal Ontario Museum, Ontario Educational Television and in 1974, his well-known logo and identity program for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
His logos and corporate identity work have been published in numerous books and journals worldwide. In 1999, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from ArtsToronto; in 2002, the Province of Ontario awarded him the Order of Ontario for his cultural contributions; and in 2003, the Ontario College of Art & Design granted him an honorary doctorate, D.Des.
Since about 2001, Kramer's focus has shifted from design to painting. His abstract, geometry - based, lyrical, colorist paintings have been shown regularly in galleries in Europe, Mexico, Colombia, the USA and Canada.'
