Saul Bass for Allstate?

I just noticed this ad for Allstate:


Which made me immediately think of this poster by Saul Bass:


Homage perhaps? The first thing I thought was copy. Perhaps inspired by would be the term. The mayhem TV spots are quite creative but I'm on insurance overload when it comes to commercials. Both Allstate and Geico have different campaigns running all the time and I find it obnoxious now. Oh, and Farmers too! "We are Farmers...bah bah bah bah bah bah bah." Make it stop! "Will switching to Geico save you on car and home insurance? Does watching repetative Geico ads make you want to stab your ears?" Not sure the answer to question one but question two: YES!
