Every designer, freelancer or design firm hits an inspirational wall. Sometimes all it takes is a little creative push to help those imaginative juices flowing with effusion.

Another great feature are their spotlight case studies that take you through the process and how it was ultimately implemented. Do yourself a favor get this book. One of the best books the LogoLounge team has put out to date.

This review is from: LogoLounge 5: 2,000 International Identities by Leading Designers (Hardcover)

This book is much like its predecessors. Tons of logos. Most of them are very nice. The case-study articles in the front are interesting as usual.

One funny thing is that one of the featured logos, the Woolworth's one with a 4-page article about it, is currently involved in a legal dispute initiated by Apple. I guess no one could see that coming!

LogoLounge 5, the latest in the LogoLounge series, is filled with solid examples of corporate brand-marks. Not necessarily progressive in its intent, very few of the logos shown in this book break any new ground. Nevertheless LogoLounge 5 is an accurate snapshot of contemporary logotype design. Filled with cleverly abstracted ideas and smart graphic interpretations I would recommend this book for most logo designers.
