Talk:Saul Bass

message: I have just watched Ocean's Eleven and was impressed by the titles so I watched the credits and saw the name Saul Bass. I checked Wikipedia out of interest but I did not find a reference to this film (please correct me if I am wrong) so I suggest it is added to the body of work. The titles seemed to me to be very original, in tune with the feel of the film and well ahead of their time(1960). 85.189.168.57 03:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

message: They're perfect for these logos. Why waste your time changing them to PNGs?, and in the process uploading incorrect versions of the logos, such as what you did w/ the 1985 AT&T logo?
:Hey, now. I only did one error and it is the 1985 AT&T logo. It is only one incorrect version. :-P Someone pointed it out to me and I only reverted the AT&T article not the Saul Bass article because I forgot. I only uploaded/replaced two items on this list and the Bell system is identical to the one I replaced. The reason I replaced with GIFs because to follow the majority of Wikipedia's organziation logo images that are transparent PNG image format to provide flexiblity on editing articles. It is better to use PNG transparent because it would provide a smoother looking icon on a transparent background compare to GIF. Here are examples of transparent PNG that are not uploaded by me, :Image:Microsoft.png, :Image:Apple-logo.png, :Image:Citigroup logo.png, :Image:AMD logo.png and :Image:Intel 2006.png. Anyways, there is your answer.  If you want to discuss an image, you should place on the discussion tab not on the image summary. --J. Nguyen 06:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Do people agree with the leading parenthetical phrase "(. . . pronunciation of name unknown)"?  I thought there was only one way to pronounce the names "Saul" and "Bass". --DylanW 06:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The pronunciation of the word "Bass" as is heard in the video above (roughly 1:10–1:15) is rendered in IPA as /bæs/ (as in the fish) (see also Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary for "Saul" /sɔl/). If there are no objections I am going to add that to the lead section of the article. --Omnipaedista (talk) 19:50, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The syntax of this article strikes me as pretty biased — "...innovative, revolutionary work...", "...visually splendid..." — and I personally think it aught to be neutralized.  Just a thought.  Discuss? — zorkmid EA 22:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Noticed that several movie posters listed in his bio are now labelled as "design not used" (is this referenced?) -- if that is the case, those entries need to be removed or moved to a different list rather than a "published works" type listing. As it stands now, it is inaccurate and will create confusion. --jca2112 18:27, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I know what most of the logos are in the pic given (and chances are, so do you), but not #5 and #7. Maybe the author could list the companies the logos belong to? YellowAries2010 (talk) 04:18, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification of logos 

message: I edited the first paragraph of the section on Saul Bass’s film posters. I added information about directors he created posters for, and his produced, but never distributed poster for Steven Spielberg's Schindler’s List.  His last film poster. 
I attempted to add a foot note to this website (posted below) as a reference to support the existence of the poster (as I was afraid that someone would delete it as unverified information if there was no reference), but an editing bot prevented its inclusion, perhaps suspecting that it was spam. Can the editor of the page add it?

thread_title:  Poster Section 

message: Is it necessary to mention he was a "Jewish-American" in the opening sentence? It's highly irregular and I don't see it mentioned in any other WP bio page. Generally an ethnicity or religion is mentioned in the Early life/career section of an article.--Chimino (talk) 18:58, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. I took out the Jewish American reference in the opening sentence, and put it in the early life/career section. I added some other biographical information about the immigrant origin of his parents, using the online source that the original editor used.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hulahoop122 (talk • contribs) 19:37, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Jewish-American" 

message: I'm curious - if Saul Bass felt that Art Sims ripped him off with the poster for Spike Lee's "Clockers" then what did Saul Bass say about the Pink Panther? 
Here is what is stated in the Wiki article re: the Pink Panther: 
"The first film in the series had an animated opening sequence, created by DePatie-Freleng Enterprises and set to the theme music by Henry Mancini, which featured the Pink Panther character. This character, designed by Hawley Pratt and Friz Freleng, was subsequently the subject of its own series of animated cartoons which gained its greatest fame when aired on Saturday mornings as The Pink Panther Show." 
I thought Saul Bass had done the Pink Panther opening and it had been left out of the film credits attributed to Saul Bass - until I looked it up. 
To me the style is the same but at the same time original. 
I read the quote about using the term 'homage' being the standard defense when one is accused of an intellectual property infringement. But what about a 'Style'?
Has anyone ever heard Saul Bass comment about this difference and the Pink Panther in particular?  ~~ JSJR 582013  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.76.56.97 (talk) 07:33, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
