“'How Paul Rand Presents Trademark Designs to Clients', an excerpt from Graphis 153 (1971/72) provides examples of the short run booklets Paul Rand used to showcase his one-option-only identity solutions to clients.” full PDF: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/rationale-design.com/resources/files/Rand_Graphis153_Trademark_Presentation.pdf via: https://rationale-design.com/resources/how-paul-rand-presents-trademark-designs-to-clients/

\

“Characteristically, Rand avoids what he calls ‘sound, music and lights presentations.’ Believing that ‘graphic designers are really silent salesmen’, he thinks that trade marks should convince by their own impact and quality.” https://www.logodesignlove.com/paul-rand-logo-presentations

\

Jobs on Rand: “I asked him if he would come up with a few options, and he said, ‘No, I will solve your problem for you and you will pay me. You don’t have to use the solution. If you want options go talk to other people.’”” https://www.logodesignlove.com/next-logo-paul-rand
