Via Slate’s Brow Beat blog: Today, Google’s homepage logo honors the 93rd birthday of Saul Bass, who designed the credits sequences for some truly excellent classic films. And, since his work is a major inspiration for the look of this very site, how can we not include the tribute here?
I always think about the scientist segment of his film “Why Man Creates” when experiments don’t work out – even when your ideas don’t pan out, you just keep creating. Saul Bass was a brilliant man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcn9Scn9lec&feature=youtu.be&t=7m40s
Thanks for sharing that, Liz—I’ve never seen it, and it’s fantastic. I’ll have to block out time for the whole film.
