Do any of the Saul Bass main titles that were used as album covers count? Because there must be a few dozen of those.

Once again, I think there is confusion over logos and main titles.

So.....let's see.....
here are a few of the earlier Saul Bass main titles.....

ANATOMY OF A MURDER.....doesn't count
THE BIG COUNTRY.....doesn't count
THE BIG KNIFE.....doesn't count
BONJOUR TRISTESSE.....doesn't count
THE CARDINAL.....doesn't count
CARMEN JONES.....doesn't count
EXODUS.....doesn't count
GRAND PRIX......doesn't count
IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD.....doesn't count
THE MAN WITH A GOLDEN ARM.....doesn't count
NINE HOURS TO RAMA.....doesn't count
NORTH BY NORTHWEST.....doesn't count
NOT WITH MY WIFE, YOU DON'T.....doesn't count
THE PRIDE AND THE PASSION.....doesn't count
PSYCHO.....doesn't count
THE RACERS......doesn't count
SAINT JOAN.....doesn't count
SECONDS.....doesn't count
THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH.....doesn't count
SOMETHING WILD.....doesn't count
SPARTACUS.....doesn't count
STORM CENTER......doesn't count
VERTIGO.....doesn't count
THE VICTORS.....doesn't count
WALK ON THE WILD SIDE.....doesn't count


Offhand, I can't think of any Saul Bass Main Title which was used as an Album cover......
Print Media Logo designs he created, yes.


Here's an easy way to find out if each suggestion qualifies:

Go to the main title of any film. Make a "frame grab" or " frame capture" of the title card.

If that frame has been used exactly as an album cover, then it qualifies for Steve H's thread.

(.....and keep in mind: Movie Frames are rectangular, Album Covers are square. smile )

There must be very few examples. The QUO VADIS cover is very close but even that (ignoring the studio credits and logo) isn't exactly the same as the screen title card, which doesn't have the top frieze. The lettering is placed higher up. The shadow, denoting the tablet depth, is on the right - not the left and the colour is not so red.
