The &#8216;Television&#8217; and &#8216;Color Television&#8217; badges that adorn all the early RCA cameras and telecine equipment was designed by Mr. Vassos. The classic look and style of the TK40\/41 was also a part of his contribution to form and function.  I think he also had a hand in the look of the TK10, TK30 and TK11\/31s. The chrome and red stripe on the TK10s is very Vassos looking. He influenced, and was influenced by the art decco style.<\/p>\n<p>His association with RCA began during the design phase of the RCA exhibits and building at the 1939 World&#8217;s Fair and lasted into the 1970s. Some of his influence in style migrated to the RCA consumer products too, like radio and TV set design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/189359747768249\/photos\/a.197108410326716.39183.189359747768249\/426551080715780\/?type=3\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp_automatic_fb_img\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.eyesofageneration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/John-Vassos-and-RCA-Television-If-you-look-where-Miltons-hand-is-you-are-se\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/189359747768249\/posts\/426551094049112\">Source<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Vassos and RCA &#8216;Television&#8217; If you look where Milton&#8217;s hand is, you are seeing the hand of one of America&#8217;s first industrial designers&#8230;John Vassos.
