I am especially excited about this announcement. In late 2012, I was contacted by Paul Howalt and Von Glitschka about submitting some of my logo work for a new book they were putting together for Rockport Publishers entitled, Design: Logo. First of all, I was flattered to be included in the group, and have the utmost respect for both of their work. Between the two of them, it was going to be a cool book, for sure.

Well, after chatting more with Paul, they decided to not only include a number of my pieces in the volume, but also feature a project I did for Avocadoville in one of their Closer Look spreads. I was more than happy to get some images shot of the work to be included in the feature. Thanks to Will Hare for the photography.

As it turns out, there were around 1,700 logos selected for the book, and work being included from some of the best logo folks in the business: Tim FrameChris ParksCarlos FernandezThe Greteman GroupHatchJeremy SlagleJoe BosackJon FlamingJoseph BlalockRule 29Luke BottMintRandy HeilRian HughesFelix SockwellThinking Cap DesignGyula NemethTy MattsonTy Wilkins & Brent Couchman.

Not to mention, some great essays from five of the top branding industry thinkers: Bill Gardner, Alina Wheeler, Sherwin SchwartzrockJustin Ahrens & Tracy Sabin.

Well, to see it in all of its glory was pretty exciting. Not only is it well designed, the content does not disappoint. Having a pretty extensive logo design library of my own, I have seen my share of design books. The essays are pertinent to the industry and nicely written, the logo work exemplary with little to no filler, and the art direction is well done, without taking over the work. It’s definitely a nice addition to my collection, and certainly a nice cross-section of what’s going on in the identity arena. You should certainly pick up one for yourself, now available on Amazon here.
