Saul Bass' 93rd Birthday

On today's Google homepage features a short Youtube video made to commemorate Saul Bass, an American graphic designer and filmmaker, best known for his design of motion picture title sequences, film posters and corporate logos.

Amongst his most prominent works include the animated paper cut-out of a heroin addict's arm (Preminger's The Man with the Golden Arm), the opening-credits sequence in Hitchcock's North by Northwest, designing of AT&T's "bell" logo in 1969 and "globe" logo in 1983, Continental Airlines' 1968 "jetstream" logo as well as United Airlines' 1974 "tulip" logo.
