Saul Bass

New Yorker graphic designer Saul Bass born May 8^th 1920 – April 25^th 1996. In his creative 40 year career he has worked with the greatest film makers in Hollywood including, Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorsese. His work is very simple to the eye of the public because of the simple bold colour and collage imagery with typography. His most famous pieces are the animated paper cut out of a heroin addict's arm for Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm, the credits racing up and down what eventually becomes a high angle shot of the C.I.T. 

 

Bass also designed logos for AT&T "bell" logo , AT&T's "globe" logo, Continental Airlines' 1968 "jetstream" logo and United Airlines' "tulip" logo which became some of the most recognized airline industry logos of the era.
