Summary
Paul Rand's Eye-Bee-M rebus stacks three white pictograms on black to phonetically spell IBM.
Visual description
A stylized eye sits above a striped bee with teardrop wings and the eight-bar IBM M letterform. Flat white shapes on solid black create maximum contrast with playful symmetry.
Key takeaway
Pictographic rebuses make corporate mnemonics memorable without showing the full wordmark.
Reuse notes
Canonical reference for witty identity systems, poster histories, or minimalist corporate storytelling.
