Didn't Paul Rand also design the CBS "eye" logo, in addition to ABC'x? -- Jerzy (t) 03:53, 2004 Apr 20 (UTC)
Why is the Cummins logo shown in green? Their corporate color is medium blue. Likewise, isn't ABC generally black?
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)
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 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)
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)
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!

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

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)

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