Saul's work changed peoples eye that much, they even created a google homepage in his name, and is still used even now on his birthday.
"Mr. Bass created entire art forms from seemingly artless banalities. He gave projectionists a reason to draw the curtains for a films opening credits. He breathed life into the sterile company logo."
He did what great designers do, he surreptitiously moved people. It is why his legacy lives on today, long after his passing 17 years ago. Despite many companies abandoning his work in favor of flashier redesigns, it is hard to deny Bass's lasting influence on the clean icons and minimalist visual designs permeating tech culture today.
"If its simple simple, its boring". "We try for the idea that is so simple that it will make you think and rethink." Bass once said.
