Planet Propaganda has been selected by the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum for inclusion in the National Design Triennial exhibition.
Samples of the design, advertising and interactive company's creative work will be on view December 9, 2006 through July 29, 2007 at the museum housed in the Andrew Carnegie Mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Selected works by Planet also will be published in an exhibit catalogue and displayed online.
One of only 10 firms selected from the graphic design industry, Planet will join 86 other designers and firms from across the country representing product design, architecture, furniture, film, new technologies, animation, science, medicine, and fashion.
"It's an amazing thing to say your work will hang in the Smithsonian. It helps validate all the time and energy that we pour into it," says Dana Lytle, Planet co-founder.
"Although its name mockingly evokes delusions of totalitarian grandeur, Planet Propaganda approaches a diverse range of media with commonsense thinking and carefree creative energy," says Cooper-Hewitt curator Ellen Lupton.

Artists love to venture along and even beyond the ragged edge, pushing the envelope as they work and progressively redefining what is possible.
Just a few years ago, the design of the new BMW Z4 Coupé, for example, would have been considered impossible to build - the lines too extravagant, the panels too complex to manufacture.
For New York-based designer Joshua Davis, feasibility problems are familiar ground: His works originate on the computer, and to date, they have been considered too complex to print.
This common ground recently triggered a spell of close collaboration between Davis and BMW - giving rise to a limited edition of unique prints inspired by the new Z4 Coupé.
34-year-old Davis is a pioneer of algorithmic graphic design.
The prestigious locations where his works have been exhibited include the Tate Modern, the Centre Pompidou, and P.S.1 MoMA.
In the runup to the launch of the BMW Z4 Coupé in mid-2006, Davis will be producing three limited series of large-format, high-end color prints for BMW which, from today, can be ordered on a dedicated website.
The pioneering aspect here is that each signed and numbered print has its own individual design - so each one is entirely unique.
