Walter Landor
Walter Landor was a brand designer and entrepreneur. He was a proponent of branding and consumer research techniques widely used to this day. Brands as diverse as Coca-Cola, General Electric, Japan Airlines, Levi Strauss, and Shell Oil all benefited from his vision and commitment. He also designed many labels for canned food, beer, and liquor brands.
Products are made in the factory, but brands are created in the mind.
Landor was a faculty member at CCAC in the 1940s in the industrial design and interior architecture programs. Landor was also a fixture in the Bay Area, initially conducting his business out of a retired ferry boat docked off a San Francisco pier. He created branding for Muni and BART, as well as writing a guide to "Exploring the Exploratorium".
