  AIGA - Zuzana Licko and Rudy VanderLans
Licko was born in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia, and moved to the United States at the age of seven.
While Licko and VanderLans were being pilloried by traditionalists, designers who had once championed their work for its aggressiveness began to condemn it as too readily identifiable, and therefore unusable.
Licko's ascendance in a primarily male-dominated profession and her bypassing of traditional training have been an inspiration to a generation of font designers with access to computer technology.

 Wired 1.05: Emigre
Zuzana Licko and Rudy VanderLans are the founders of Emigre, a mom-and-pop, electronic-cottage industry that began as a magazine, became one of the first electronic type foundries, created its own music label, and recently published its first book, Graphic Design into the Digital Realm.
Licko (Czech by birth) and VanderLans (a Dutch ex-patriate) were not only present at the revolution, their editorial and typographic design helped shape it.
Licko's creation of some of the first desktop digital typefaces and VanderLans's Mac-based experimentation with new ways to present text and images have influenced the ongoing transformation of graphic designers from their traditional, Gutenberg roots to an unknown, digitized future.

The team designed typefaces which used bit-mapped limitations as a discipline that pushed their graphic art and ideology in new directions.
