Is it pronounced bass like the fish or like the guitar? Seriously.

Ripping off Saul Bass was pretty much how I got through 2nd year in college. I had seen all the posters and film intros, loved all the rough hand-drawn type and colours. But then I went to an exhibition in the Design Museum in London after graduating and saw the other side to his design, the logos, the packaging etc. It was all gorgeous and so different to the film work.
After years in college of looking at CD's and film posters it made me realise that corporate design could be lovely and interesting too.

Ian - and anyone else who saw the Design Museum retrospective - do you remember in the DM shop you could register your interest in a book Lawrence King were putting together to accompany the show? I put my name down but never heard anything back and to the best of knowledge it never came out. Such a shame, I'd love a really thorough book of his work.

I love that united airlines logo. didn't know he did the kleenex one either, that's really nice

much prefer his to rand's as well. I think they stand up as more timeless, although maybe I'm just mistaking that as more fashionable if done today
