Graphis Inc. is an international publisher of books and awards for the visual communications industry. Based in New York City.

Graphis Magazine ended at issue No. 355, and a new Graphis Journal magazine, starting with Issue No. 356, was introduced in 2018.

History

Graphis was founded in 1944 by Walter Herdeg and Dr. Walter Amstutz in Zurich, Switzerland. The magazine was started with the September/October 1944 issue. It was published six times a year and contained text in French, German and English.

In 1986, B. Martin Pedersen purchased the company from Mr. Herdeg and later moved the headquarters to New York City. The Annuals were redefined, and new books were added to the roster, including New Talent (student work), Typography, Branding, Logo & Letterhead, among others..
