The IT Giant Mafia

Didn't realise the YouTube people were PayPal too. Also Kevin Rose worked there: the PayPal logo is his Photoshop work.

Not sure the 'Path' guy qualifies as much as the others on the list.

MessageBus has shut down.

I don't think Kevin Rose worked at PayPal, nor created the PayPal logo. Thirdly, I don't think he's a designer.

Chad Hurley created the logo, as he was a designer at PayPal (wikipedia confirms). He told me he created the SpaceX logo, also. And I imagine the YouTube logo, too, as he was a founder.

You're right, it was Chad Hurley. Reference: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2007/jul/09/mediatop1002007... (obviously wikipedia doesn't count).

Those from Paypal are the most influential in my opinion. They have dived into the frontier of different fields of the IT world and lead the change of the world.
