Book Description

1856696111 978-1856696111 March 11, 2009
The 400 marks reproduced within these pages represent the diverse array of identity work produced by Pentagram's partners, past and present, since its founding in 1972. Over the past four decades, Pentagram has designed marks for large corporations and small businesses, government agencies and nonprofit institutions, clubs and societies, and evenindividuals, all of whom were seeking a representative symbol to appear on letterhead and books, buildings and websites, and everywhere else imaginable.

Isolating them in black and white helps us appreciate these marks as unique pictorial or abstract symbols. Buta logo is rarely a solitary commission. Often produced in conjunction with a unified graphics, architecture or product design program, it is only part of the work Pentagram does. But regardless of the nature of the assignment, clients all share the same desire to be identified, and the belief that the right mark is a crucial starting point for a comprehensive visual identity.

Limited edition, only 1,000 copies for sale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy and professional, September 1, 2010
This review is from: Pentagram Marks (Paperback)
Length:: 0:43 Mins

This is an exceptionally good collection of logos from Pentagram. Even though it's printed in black and white, the logos are visually strong, distinct and classy. The variety of style is great and varied. The client list is also impressive, from small businesses to well known corporations.

Highly recommended to logo designers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mini Logo Library, July 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pentagram Marks (Paperback)
Pentagram is one of THE best studios in the country and the world; this is a showcase of (all?) their logo work. Classy presentation by showing all logos in black. While some logos are unremarkable, there are plenty of amazing works and some not as common. A definite go-to resource for logo designers. This needs to be on your shelf.
