With a new look and editorial approach, Los Logos: Compass remains the authoritative reference on contemporary logo design. Like its predecessors, Los Logos: Compass offers a definitive overview of current developments and advancements in logo design the creative discipline that shapes the identities of brands, companies, and individuals. Comprised of 304 pages, and in a larger format than used in the past, Los Logos: Compass offers a rich, high-quality selection of up-to-the-minute logos that readers have come to expect. But the focus of the publication has been further sharpened from a comprehensive documentation to a competent classification of prevailing tendencies in design. In addition to illustrating the various co-existing design approaches and trends that are shaping logo design today, and will continue to influence it in the coming years, the book showcases outstanding work by noted designers in short text features. Los Logos: Compass aims to be not only an archive of current design, but to educate designers and clients about which approaches make the best fit for a given project independent of the latest trends. This issue is especially important in a challenging economy in which innovation and identity are essential. This fifth edition in the Los Logos series is not only a source of inspiration and an authoritative reference manual, but also a valuable compass that shows that every design problem is a variety of creative opportunities in disguise.

If there could be a wikipedia on logos, this must be it. The entire series -- Los Logos: Compass is the fifth edition -- runs like an encyclopedia of logo designs, tracking trends and the most cutting-edge examples. I was immediately engaged by this excellent compilation of advertising, branding, identity and emerging digital design work. Educational, obviously, but more importantly: fun to flip through.

Wow! Packed to the max, this fifth edition of the Los Logos series contains a ridiculous amount of information and logos but comes this time organized by smart categories such as "pre-school" and "ornamental". It also argues for a renaissance of the more detailed and hand-drawn aesthetic, a return to authenticity in design. These logo books are all must-have resources in my mind, but Compass is obviously the most recent (and relevant). But it's also the most comprehensive. I'm impressed.

excellent book that continues the collection of "logos". The collected material is very good, but does not exceed the previous editions. Although I didn't loved the new vertical format but still is a good fit for your library.

I first got into Gestalten's books when I saw the second Los Logos book (Dos Logos) in Paris. This one is even better though. Sure, it's bulkier and looks different next to the other four on my bookshelf. But now I know why: It's one you can learn a lot from too! Lots of handy tips for logo designers and companies on how to design your logo and what it should say about you. A great addition to the rest of the series, and they haven't let me down yet.
