History

Veer was founded in North America in 2002 by former members of the marketing, product and design teams of Getty Images, EyeWire and Adobe Systems. By offering high quality, filtered images and fonts through a simple, easy-touse website, Veer became a one-stop resource for designers and art directors looking for a creative edge. Veer's reputation for quality, creativity and community led to its acquisition by Corbis in 2007. In 2010, Veer revamped its offering with a simplified website and more affordable creative elements. In recent years, Veer has continued to expand internationally and today has localized websites serving customers in Australia, France, Germany, Italy and the UK.
