Verso also contains a description of Whitehead, Bayer, and comments by Bayer on the artwork featured in the design in grey printed text. Printed in grey ink, verso, bottom: Herbert Bayer's comments on his interpretation are as follows: / "I am symbolizing a progress of events, as a movement forward in time and space, an / onward course, as a progression of two circular forms. / There is order in the progressive intervals in which changes occur. And there is progres- / sive change in the forms as they advance. In this design may be seen the change in form / and color of a waging moon and a rising sun." / Container Corporation of America, May 15, 1964
