4.0 out of 5 stars The latest, and freshest, in the Rockport series, December 7, 2005

By	Jeff Fisher "Engineer of Creative Identity" (Portland OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rockport Publishers continues their long-running design book series with Letterhead & Logo Design 9, this volume by Christopher Simmons and his San Francisco design firm MINE. The designs presented in the book were selected from over 3000 submissions from identity designers in 38 states and 40 countries. With a new spin on the publication series, the nearly 300 examples of logos, stationery packages, and other promotional items presented in this volume are organized by attributes, rather than the usual categorization by industry or type of client. The selection of designs exhibited was based on beauty, wit and whimsy, simplicity, subtlety, virtuosity, typography, materiality and miscellany. The latest, and freshest, addition to the on-going Rockport collection will elicit many "damn, why didn't I think of that?" thoughts and provide a great deal of inspiration to any graphic designer with even the slightest interest in logo design. - Jeff Fisher, writer of bLog-oMotives and "Logo Notions" at CreativeLatitude.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book, November 9, 2006

By	Amy R. Silberberg "TNdesigner" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was a wonderful source for design inspiration. So many different styles from very simple to complex.
If you are ever facing designer's block, this will really get some ideas flowing. It's also a good reference for current design trends.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some fabulous logos, not enough background, March 16, 2007

By	Nora Brown "norabrowndesign.com" (Chicago IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There is no doubt this book contains some beautiful and smart logos. I just wish more information would have been given about the clients. In fact, some of the best logos in the book are in the introduction, designed by the author, and here a very brief desciption of the client is given (such as "Logo to identify certified vegan foods"). But this stops once the heart of the book begins. To be fully appreciated, a logo needs to have context, and none is given in this book except for the client's name (such as "VIP Industries" - who?).
Nevertheless, definitely worth buying.
