Heinz Waibl is best known for his projects for Rai, Rinascente, Atkinsons, Olivetti, Pirelli, and Flos, as well as his collaboration with the design firm Unimark International, developing brand symbols for JCPenney and American Airlines (with Massimo Vignelli).
Waibl was not the only Italian to try his luck in America – Massimo Vignelli, Giulio Cittato and Piero Ottinetti also came to work in Chicago – but in 1971, Waibl returned to Italy, where he would build on his experience in the emerging field of corporate identity.
