Without doubt Paul Rand heads the pantheon of branding designers, having proved, a century ago, that “good design is good business” [his words]. If one looks only at his seminal work for IBM—that logo is still in use—you get the idea. But stop to consider a bit more about his process, then his contributions become more evident.
