Initial response back from John Whitney Jr. on this question:

"Yes, John had an on-going relationship with Saul that led to other projects in addition to Vertigo. (And much later, Digital Productions did the world wide campaign with Saul for the ATT logo.)"

Digital Productions was John Jr.'s company with Gary Demos in the 1980s.

I asked for some more info on the pre-Vertigo work Bass and John Sr. did together, and will pass this along as well if/when I hear.
