Video: When We Build

After you’re done be sure to visit Miner’s website, which has links to all the material used in the talk, including books, videos, music and images for anyone who would like to learn more.

Video: Saul Bass’ Bell System Pitch
This is a video of Saul Bass presenting his brand identity suggestions to Bell System in the early 1970s. The first half is a fantastic overview on the importance of brand identity,. while the second half (starting at around 13:00) is the identity pitch itself. A long video, but worth every second of your time.
