Weston, Connecticut, 1986   [1,000/1,500] Rand’s design for NEXT became one of his most iconic works. He created numerous variations of the NeXT logo before settling on the final design which he presented at the end of the book. He felt that including the variations not only satisfied one’s curiosity but also made visible the intrinsic meaning behind each design. In 1998, Steve Jobs placed Rand in the Apple Think Different campaign alongside pioneers of other mediums, including Pablo Picasso, Bob Dylan, Martha Graham and Miles Davis.
