Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Logo Design Workbook focuses on creating powerful logo designs and answers the question, "What makes a logo work?"

In the first half of this book, authors Sean Adams and Noreen Morioka walk readers step-by-step through the entire logo-development process. Topics include developing a concept that communicates the right message and is appropriate for both the client and the market; defining how the client's long-term goals might affect the look and needs of the mark; choosing colors and typefaces; avoiding common mistakes; and deciphering why some logos are successful whereas others are not.

The second half of the book comprises in-depth case studies on logos designed for various industries. Each case study explores the design brief, the relationship with the client, the time frame, and the results.



About the Author
Sean Adams and Noreen Morioka co-founded AdamsMorioka in 1993. Since then, the firm has been globally recognized by every major competition and designation. Their clients include ABC Networks, MTV Networks, Gap, Old Navy, Nickelodeon, Oxygen, and Sundance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great useful logo book, April 16, 2004
By A Customer
I'm used to design books that show examples of good work, but never give any real advice on how to make something. At first glance, this book is accessible and has lots of great images, but the content goes beyond that. It's actually pretty dense. It clearly explains how to make a logo and sell it. It has all the components of standards manuals listed. It even has a process guide for clients. I'm amazed AdamsMorioka was willing to divulge all of their "trade secrets" on good identities. This book also has an incredible collection of blue-chip designers and others that I've never seen before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I had this book years ago, June 24, 2004
By A Customer
This is perhaps the most honest book that I have read since my beginning education in graphic design. The reading is objective yet incredibly insightful. I have been attending a local Art school for nearly four years now and can honestly say that this book offers more real world direction into the logo development process than any I have been assigned in the classroom. This isn't just a collection of logo designs and their designers, but a very well organized breakdown of how and why for logo development. Logo Design Workbook should be handed out the first day of school; where was this book when I was 18? I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in logo design from the student to the CEO.

3.0 out of 5 stars Sparks creativity, August 16, 2005
You will not become the logo master overnight. This book is a decent resource for developing your own thought process in logo creativity.

The book is full of decent examples of "how we got here from there."

It is good reading and very educational but not necessarily a revelation.
