5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!, October 4, 2006

This review is from: LogoLounge 3: 2,000 International Identities by Leading Designers (v. 3) (Hardcover)

Once again, Logo Lounge gives the most creative and innovative examples of logos anywhere in an unbelivably organized format. As a graphic designer specializing in logos, I find the Logo Lounge library and website completely indispensible. I enjoyed seeing the judges favorites and definitely have a few of my own. The Portraits and Sketches (profiles of specific designers & agencies, identities and their applications) are always interesting and inspiring but don't overwhelm the book as I like to get straight down to business and dive right into the Collections (zillions of great logo examples). I've been designing and collecting design & logo specific books since the 80's and NEVER have any books inspired me more than these. I don't think you really have to be a designer to enjoy this gallery of artwork, but you may just turn into one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Logo collections ever., January 12, 2007

This review is from: LogoLounge 3: 2,000 International Identities by Leading Designers (v. 3) (Hardcover)

The Logo lounge series is the best logo collections ever. I've been a designer for 25 years and have filled my library with dozens of logo books. LogoLounge 3 is one of the best. The challenge with all design collections is seeing something new. The LogoLounge collection is full of designs you've never seen but wished you had done.
It should be in all designers libraries.
