Herbert Lindinger

The logo of the University of Hannover, which evokes Leibniz's exploration of the binary number system, was also designed by Lindinger.

[8][9] In the 1950s he worked alongside Hans Gugelot, Otl Aicher, Herbert Hirche, and Dieter Rams designing audio equipment for Braun.

[21][22][23] In 2022, a German court ruled that Lindinger's design of the fabric used for the seat covers of the city’s public transport system was protected by copyright.

As a result, the public transportation company BVG was temporarily barred from selling products and merchandise (including tea towels to sneakers) using the popular design.

Bloomberg noted that "the fight reveals how passionate people can get about public transit seat covers – designs that many of us see every day, but which very often fall far outside the boundaries of conventional good taste."
