3.0 out of 5 stars
Solid, but not as current or comprehensive as one would like, July 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Symbols, Logos and Trademarks: 1,500 Outstanding Designs from India (Paperback)
For a compilation of logos, it was a definitely an adequate effort, just logos, their designers, the agencies and the project for which it was used. What I had found lacking was a larger introduction; it was essentially a couple of pages, and that was it. I did not mind that the largest single designer featured was by the author, but what was dissapointing was for the most part, how ordinary they looked. There were a few wonderful exceptions that demonstrated a marked regional (non-Western) flavor, but for the most part, Bauhaus ruled. Another problem occurs in the publishing date of the book. Although published recently, for the greatest part, the book is actually a reprint from the early 90's, hardly a reflection of current trends in India. I love logo compilations, but I'd prefer something more current, and with more explanation, such as you might find in the trade magazines.
