Caro signor Frutiger, auguri e... un grandissimo "grazie" per tutto quanto ha fatto! — Fabrizio, Italia

Mr. Frutiger, best wishes on your birthday. It was my ability to distinguish between Univers and other sans faces that landed me a job at Autologic many moons ago. I thank you for helping me land that "dream job". Today I teach, design, design history and typography. Look at what you have accomplished, how many you have inspired. Two of your books, well worn, and well read, sit on my book shelf. As they say may you live beyond 120. --Paul — Paul, Canada

I use your typefaces all the time -- my design projects would be nothing without Frutiger, Avenir, and Serifa. Thank you for a lifetime of truly excellent work and best wishes for a happy birthday and good health and enjoyment. — Naomi Pierce, USA

I am a graphic designer from Turkey. I wish a happybirth day to you. I have a great respect to you and I want to thank you for sharing your talent with the world. — Ali Yigit Gumus, Turkey

My life, and so many of the corporate identity programs for which I was responsible (e.g., GE, 1986-2003), would never have been what it and they have been without Univers. May God grant you a seat on His highest counsel! You've already earned the equivalent among thousands of us mortal typophiles! With abounding love to you today and ever after, — D H Bartels, United States of America

I hope your life is beauty like your job Thanks — Lorenzo, Italy
