Editorial Reviews

Review

"There are a lot of books that show collections of logos. But Logo Design Love is something different: it's a guide for designers (and clients) who want to understand what this mysterious business is all about. Written in a reader-friendly, concise language, with a minimum of designer jargon, Airey gives a surprisingly clear explanation of the process, using a wide assortment of real-life examples to support his points. Anyone involved in creating visual identities, or wanting to learn how to go about it, will find this book invaluable."

- Tom Geismar, Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book!
By Nik on March 3, 2020
Been hearing good things about this book and was very eager to get my hands on it. When it came, it had i bit of a slice on the back cover-- nothing severe as to damage the pages inside. I won't deduct a star for that because these things happen. I'm more grateful that there's anything to read at all lol.

It's undoubtedly an enjoyable book. Easy to understand breakdowns of some brand identities as well as very crucial tips and guides, such as "mind mapping" for example, to take into account when designing a brand identity that increases the possibility of producing greater results that hit the mark. The book really helps narrow things down from the initial meeting with the client on throughout the design phase and delivery.

Usually when you observe a brand's identity, i.e. their logo or trademark, at times it can be difficult to comprehend aside from the obvious fact that it represents something. This book is just one of many capable of changing that perspective with numerous sketches, as one example, that give a hint of what it can take for a mark to get from concept to final design. Some of the other books out there are more portfolios in my opinion and that's fine, but any design book that includes the process will always be more valuable :)
