Product Description

The fourth volume in the best-selling LogoLounge series provides 2,000 totally new logos from designers worldwide. This book, like the previous titles in the series, is compiled in association with LogoLounge.com, a website that was launched by Bill Gardner in 2002. The site is dedicated to logos. Top designers and design firms are hand picked and invited to be "foundation members." Foundation and web site members each supply multiple logos to the site. Each LogoLounge book presents thousands of new logos that have been added to the site, providing designers with an invaluable source for design inspiration and a resource for design solutions. The first portion of the book profiles 10 top designers recent work in the area of logo design; the second part of the book contains almost 2,000 logos organized by logo design (typography, people, mythology, nature, sports, etc.)

This book, like the other LogoLounge's, is very helpful. It shows different logos and always helps me find new solutions from the inspirations in the book.

I do a lot of logo designing, and I have to say that this book is great for inspiration. Anytime I want just an idea, I can pick this up, turn to a category, and look at other designs easy. This book also has a number of detailed reports at the beginning that explain some popular brands and the designers who created them. It has their process and even what they did for inspiration. It's not only great for inspiration, but good for thinking outside the box! Great series!
