Saul Bass (2/9)

This is one of the logos created by Saul Bass for AT&T in 1984 that, yet modified, is still used today.  
Saul Bass was one of the best known graphic designers and an Academy Award-winning filmmaker.  He has created several well-known logos that are all widely recognizable.  I found this compelling because this symbol that he created had, at one point, a 93% recognition rate in the U.S., and even without the words "AT&T", still is identified with the company.  This is a symbol that we all see on a daily basis; on billboards, in magazines, posters, and even on our own cell phones.
