5.0 out of 5 stars Great look at current trends
I had to write after reading the reviews below (one was obviously written by Marc English's mother). I found this book gave me great insight into current design trends. It's not a history of design. It's more a present and future. Loads of examples with notations on what it is that makes them work.

1.0 out of 5 stars not for professional designers
Very disappointed. This book is filled with pretty pictures and wow-gee-whiz gushing, but no critical analysis. I expected critical analysis, based on the title, but instead was presented with marketing-quality, un-scholarly, un-professional text.

If you want a real book on logos read Marc English. I feel bad saying bad things about the book. But, I really disliked...

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, April 15, 2000
By 
While this book provides some beautiful examples of current trends in logos, it offers much more. It provides a great overview of why logos are important to the products and services they represent as well as how well crafted logo concepts are developed. I recommend this book to all of my clients before I start logo projects for them.
