Playboy Magazine, originally titled "Stag Party," is a monthly magazine founded by Hugh Hefner in 1953. The magazine features "tasteful" nude photos of women, along with articles on sports, fashion, consumer goods, and political and public figures.

The first centerfold was Marilyn Monroe and the top selling Playboy issue was the November 1972 publication featuring Pam Rawings which sold 7,161,561 copies.

In December of 1953, Hugh Hefner printer 70, 000 copies of his new magazine Playboy, it featured photos of beautiful, naked women. They sold 54,175 of them.

The world recognized Rabbit's Head logo was designed by Playboy's first Art Director, Art Paul. The logo has appeared on every single magazine cover since, except for the very first issue. Hugh Hefner once explained I selected a rabbit as the symbol for the magazine because of the humorous sexual connotation, and because he offered an image that was frisky and playful. I put him in a tuxedo to add the idea of sophistication. there was another editorial consideration, too. Since both 'the new yorker' and 'esquire' use men as their symbols, I felt the rabbit would be distinctive; and the notion of a rabbit dressed up in formal evening attire struck me as charming, amusing and right.'
