The prestigious Pratt Institute celebrates its 125th anniversary today, and accordingly, we are celebrating the iconic artwork that has come from the school's esteemed alumni and faculty. As an art, design, and architecture institution, Pratt has been the starting point for talented students, who have gone on to improve, beautify, and change the world.

We chose 50 out of the 125 artworks they are honoring at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel tonight, based on their relevance and resonance. From the Chrysler Building to the Big Bird costume and Dunkin Donuts logo, here are The Pratt Institute's 50 Most Groundbreaking Designs.
