Book Description

1581804563 978-1581804560 April 2003
This is a different kind of logo book for designers - instead of the typical collection of finished logos, this book steps into the studios of top designers as their ideas happen. Case studies trace the evolution of great logos, symbols and icons, illustrating the process with initial roughs and intermediary sketches that lead up to the final designs. The book is especially valuable in that it expands its boundaries to include symbols and icons, two rarely covered yet increasingly vital areas of design. Designers include top corporate identity firms such as Massimo Vignelli Design and Chermayeff & Geismar.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice book but not that helpfull, December 1, 2003

This review is from: How to Design Logos, Symbols and Icons: 24 Internationally Renowned Studios Reveal How They Develop Trademarks for Print and New Media (Paperback)
I bought this book with the idea of creating logos but that was a mistake. But it's a great book when you are interested in processes. This book shows how companies design logos and their process of getting from start to end. So, much talk about the process, no talk about the techniques.

I bought this book in the hardcover and still refer to it all the time. Awesome guide to how some of the top firms create logos and their process. I still recommend this book to everyone, especially at this price!
