Saul Bass: The Name Behind the Titles
To put it succinctly, before Saul Bass came along, movie titles were just boring. Bass was a graphic designer who worked on movie posters and branding, and he saw a missed opportunity in the — until that point — purely functional aesthetics of opening credits (which, as you know, display a movie's title, it’s main cast, the producers, major crew, and casting director, among other information). He thought that these brief interludes before the movie’s first sequence could be used to set the tone for the audience, and the rest is history. From West Side Story and The Seven Year Itch to Vertigo, The Man With the Golden Arm, and tons more, Bass created truly artful title sequences using artful lines, idiosyncratic fonts, and even photographic elements. In essence, he developed a style that wou...

Saul Bass Turns 100 - Criterion Channel Trailer
There were title sequences before Saul Bass, and there were title sequences after Saul Bass. The legendary graphic artist, born 100 years ago on May 8, revolutionized the art of motion-picture credits with his groundbreaking opening to Otto Preminger’s THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, using strikingly minimalist design elements to visualize the story’s explosive theme of drug addiction. Over the next forty years, Bass would employ techniques ranging from animation (AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, OCEAN’S 11) to live action (WALK ON THE WILD SIDE) to avant-garde experimentation (SECONDS) to time-lapse photography (THE AGE OF INNOCENCE) to create some of the most dazzling title sequences of all time, miniature works of art that not only set the mood for the feature to follow but which often help to...

To put it succinctly, before Saul Bass came along, movie titles were just boring. Bass was a graphic designer who worked on movie posters and branding, and he saw a missed opportunity in the — until that point — purely functional aesthetics of opening credits (which, as you know, display a movie's title, it’s main cast, the producers, major crew, and casting director, among other information). He thought that these brief interludes before the movie’s first sequence could be used to set the tone for the audience, and the rest is history. From West Side Story and The Seven Year Itch to Vertigo, The Man With the Golden Arm, and tons more, Bass created truly artful title sequences using artful lines, idiosyncratic fonts, and even photographic elements. In essence, he developed a style that would be remembered and emulated for decades to come (see designer Maurice Binder's Bass-ian title sequence for Charade as a notable example). This video showcases some of Bass's best work and traces the lasting impact of his innovations. The next time you see a movie with truly awesome titles, you'll know who you have to thank for it!

For more from the AT&T Archives, visit http://techchannel.att.com/archives
Saul Bass' work in logo design and movie title credit sequences spanned the latter half of the 20th century, with prominent work in each field. He worked closely with AT&T, designing not only the 1970 "bell" logo that was ubiquitous for a decade, but also the globe logo unveiled in 1983.
One reason for this bell logo's ubiquity? The redesign was the largest corporate re-identity program in the U.S., ever. The redesign covered:
135,000 Bell System vehicles
22,000 buildings
1,250,000 phone booths
170,000,000 telephone directories
This film was made by Bass' company as a presentation to AT&T executives. It would have extended to be shown to the public, but a number of his ideas in the film were not ultimately adopted, like his phone booth designs, and men's and women's uniforms. But a great many of the design were adopted—including, most memorably, the telephone vans and hardhat designs of the 1970s. Bass designed down to the details, showcasing in this film a myriad of ideas, like Yellow Pages book designs, cufflinks for executives, and flags.
Bass' other very recognizable logo designs that persist today include those for Minolta, Girl Scouts of America, Avery International, Geffen Records, Warner Int'l, and many more. And Bass' later, 1983 design for AT&T (the striped/encircled globe) was the foundation for the logo that the company has today, though redesigned in 2005 by Interbrand.

There were title sequences before Saul Bass, and there were title sequences after Saul Bass. The legendary graphic artist, born 100 years ago on May 8, revolutionized the art of motion-picture credits with his groundbreaking opening to Otto Preminger’s THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, using strikingly minimalist design elements to visualize the story’s explosive theme of drug addiction. Over the next forty years, Bass would employ techniques ranging from animation (AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, OCEAN’S 11) to live action (WALK ON THE WILD SIDE) to avant-garde experimentation (SECONDS) to time-lapse photography (THE AGE OF INNOCENCE) to create some of the most dazzling title sequences of all time, miniature works of art that not only set the mood for the feature to follow but which often help to tell the story itself. Though he directed only one feature—the visually stunning science-fiction head trip PHASE IV—Bass left behind a widely influential legacy as one of the most innovative film artists of the twentieth century.
