Al Bauer Advertising
by Jeff Fisher LogoMotives
In 1980, my first year out of college, ad agency owner Al Bauer asked me to design an abstract icon to identify his firm. Early in the process he selected this design - which most likely evolved out of my interest in the minimalist logo imagery I studied in school during the 1970's - thinking it represented how advertising was orderly until something went completely out of whack. About a week later he realized it was very abstract lower-case a and b letterforms.

Its simple, and I understand the premise, but it isn't very visually appealing in my opinion. Almost reminds me of the "cingular bars."

I think the "cingular bars" remind you of this logo. The logo was designed in 1980 and Cingular became a company in 2001. :o)

Well I would like to agree with you, however, I had never seen this logo prior to logopond, so I have to say it reminds me of what I am most accustomed of. I like the premise, but it doesn't stand out to me, imho. Still though, I am sure I can learn lots from you.
