# Paul Rand (@paul-rand)

Paul Rand was a American graphic designer who helped establish modernist corporate identity in the United States. The work is associated with visual wit, simplified form, typography, and memorable relationships between image and word. Major examples include identity systems for IBM, ABC, UPS, and Westinghouse, along with books on design. A balanced account also considers the claim that corporate communication could be both systematic and inventive.
