Paul Rand, A Number of Different

Logo Design Through the Years

"Design is the method of putting form and content

together. Design, just as art, has multipledefinitions; there is no single definition. Design

can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so

simple, that's why it is so complicated." (Paul

Rand)
