Chris Annyas sheds some light on Saul Bass’ iconic poster for Hitchcock’s Vertigo: “There is no such thing as THE Vertigo movie poster. When Bass worked for film studios he offered them a package: main and credit titles, a symbol or trademark, a screen trailer, posters (half sheets, one sheet, three sheet, six sheet, twenty-four sheet), an insert, lobby cards, a window card, trade ads (six different versions, three colors) and magazine ads (at least 10 different versions). The Vertigo movie poster that’s become a landmark in graphic design and cinema history is the one sheet poster.” A bunch of the variations shown at the link.

Moat, a search engine for banner ads. As ridiculous as that may sound, it’s actually quite fascinating. Each search gives you a sense of what a particular brand looks like and how it’s presenting itself. Shown: IBM.
