Talk:Paul Rand

CBS

Didn't Paul Rand also design the CBS "eye" logo, in addition to ABC'x? --Jerzy(t) 03:53, 2004 Apr 20 (UTC)

• No, the CBS eye logo was designed by William Golden.
  • yes that is correct.

Cummins

Why is the Cummins logo shown in green? Their corporate color is medium blue. Likewise, isn't ABC generally black?

Additions.

I'm adding huge amounts of text (comparative to the original document length, anyway) and I'd be very grateful to anyone who can go through adding the wiki links, checking the writing, or adding the diagrams/re-doing the "logo" gallery. Very very grateful. --RadariG 20:24, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I've done a little. Take a look for SGML comments -- I mean, stuff within <!-- -->. -- Hoary 11:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I've made a few changes. — Wackymacs 15:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Just skimming through the article —

Could you guys have a better copyright fair use photo without an Apple Computer logo/Think Different ad? Apple Computer probably just license the photo and doesn't own the copyrights to it. That is my speculation because consider their past "Think Different" posters with the famous Rosa Parks photo and all. In addition, the headings are somewhat not corresponding to the Style Guide. --Who What Where Nguyen Why 15:56, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I've changed the section headers, and moved some text around. — Wackymacs 15:32, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Ford logo

I've heard both that the Ford logo Rand created was either rejected by Ford, or that Rand actually told Ford they didn't need to update their logo. I can't find any good sources for either on Google however... Anyone know a source for either? hateless 19:13, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

I've always heard that Ford rejected the design, but I don't have a solid source on that. I'll check it out next time I'm at the library; they should have Heller's biography of Rand by now. --RadariG 19:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I have a book about Paul Rand. Henry Ford II rejected it, he thought it was "too dramatic" a change from the original logo. — Wackymacs 20:41, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Which book is it?--RadariG 13:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Its the "modernist design" one. — Wackymacs 22:25, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

UPS logo

The old UPS logo has disappeared! If it was a logo, using it would be fair use, therefore it should not be deleted. Someone should find the logo and add it back. Adam850 21:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Enron Logo

I posted an addition to the Paul Rand article referencing the Enron logo mishap. The entire paragraph was removed even though it was neutral and verifiable. I was one of the designers who had the task of a second international rollout of the corrected logo that was released after Rand's death.

Could anyone lend some guidance?

Thank you!

We had to remove the gallery per copyright restrictions; we can use the logos only if we discuss them and the more important ones hadn't really been discussed on an individual basis. I'll save your bit on the enron logo for when we get the main ones (abc, ibm, ups) worked back in.

Thanks for the input!--RadariG 20:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Criticism

Shouldn't this article include a bit about how Rand resigned his Yale position, and convinced other faculty to resign in protest of the appointment of Sheila Levrant de Bretteville? UnkleFester (talk) 19:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Apple logo

Paul Rand didn't design the Apple logo. He designed the NeXT computer logo for Steve Jobs in his post-Apple incarnation.

Trying to clean up Citations/References

I'm trying to get some references fixed up here. Can someone check reference #4 (Meggs) and make sure I did that correctly? I also added #11 buts that almost assuredly incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Omicron91 (talk • contribs) 09:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

There's a great amount of reference material archived at this Paul Rand site. Helpful for chasing down any missing refs. UnkleFester (talk) 08:05, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Swiss?

Meggs places him firmly in the New York School. This could do with some serious clarification Twospoonfuls (ειπέ) 23:19, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Enron is "infamous"?

Not sure the comment of Enron being "infamous" should belong to this article. What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BoD (talk • contribs) 16:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Not to be confused with Rand Paul

This issue's got news coverage now. http://www.theverge.com/2015/4/30/8521193/rand-paul-paul-rand-raul-pand — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mysterious Gopher (talk • contribs) 11:52, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Website removal

I've removed the website from the infobox as it seems to be a fan club website or just a collection of his works. Safe to assume not controlled or published by him so I've been bold and removed it. MicrobiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish•cultures)} 16:58, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
