Throughout the years, Bass continued to develop a number of iconic posters and title credits while working with a number of the biggest names in the industry during that time including Alfred Hitchcock, Otto Preminger, Billy Wilder, Martin Scorsese, and many others. In the 1960s, Bass’ title sequences continue to develop graphically with the addition of new graphical movements. Much of this was due to his collaboration with future wife Elaine Makatura. Elaine Makatura Bass is an American film title design and filmmaker. She began her graphic design career as an assistant in Saul Bass’ office. They first collaborated on the opening title of the movie Spartacus. This was the beginning of a 40 year collaboration between Saul and Elaine. During these 40 years, the Basses employed diverse filmmaking techniques such as the Bunraku-style maneuver in their first film Spartacus (1960), live action sequences in Walk on the Wild Side (1962) and time lapse photography in The Age of Innocence (1993), among others. Saul Bass also had a major influence in a number of long lasting commercial logos. Other then being commercially recognized, Saul Bass’s logos are well known for their longevity.

Although today’s trends are evolving, marketing tactics are rolling back into a simpler style— minimalism. The understated art form was first expressed in New York, through paintings and large sculptures as a rebellion against artists’ expectations, such as a plethora of colors and an outburst in emotion. Hence, the controversial matter of large, symmetric, and bland sculptures composed of industrial supplies was scrutinized by the art community. But with gradual appeal to the masses and normalized inclusion in other art forms, the condescending undertones paired with minimalism has gone away. Today, minimalism is applied to fashion, plays, products, and lifestyles. However, the most prominent area affected by minimalism is the advertising

These restrictions included but were not limited to: a new stylistic filming process; Cinemascope, and the frayed relationship Fritz Lang was speculated to share with MGM, the production company he worked with for Moonfleet.
