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.

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.
