Michael C. Gross (October 3, 1945 – November 16, 2015) was an American artist, designer, and film producer.

In 1980 he started working in Hollywood, and is perhaps best remembered for designing the logo for the movie Ghostbusters (with Brent Boates[1]) based on Dan Aykroyd’s original concept.

He created "If You Don't Buy This Magazine, We'll Kill This Dog" (for an image of this cover, see the National Lampoon article).

In 1980, Gross moved to California, where he worked as producer or an executive producer on 11 films, including Heavy Metal, Ghostbusters (he and Brent Boates[1] designed the "no ghosts" logo, and he was surprised to see it so popular that it was painted on the nose of a B-52 bomber[5]), Ghostbusters II, Twins, Beethoven, Legal Eagles, Kindergarten Cop and Dave.

[6] Gross is survived by his son, Director of Photography Dylan Goss,[7] daughter Gina, and grandchildren Luke, Oliver and Lou-Andrea.
