Today is the birthday of Saul Bass, born in 1920 in New York City.
He was a prolific designer whose work spanned movie titles and movie posters, to identity design and a corporate identification system for the largest company in the world (at the time, and now bastardizing his design). His work has influenced countless designers and the debate continues (read the comments) whether or not he is the best designer of the 20th century. It’s possible that seldom know that he also directed a movie in 1974. In 1981 he was awarded as an AIGA medalist.
He passed away in 1996.
