LogoLounge (PagePerfect NOOK Book)

There are no lengthy case histories, just logos, logos, and more logos. It's a fast-paced book featuring one to six logos per page to allow designers to easily shop for ideas. Logos are among the most important elements a designer can create, so it is no surprise that they are always looking for new, fresh ideas. LogoLounge delivers just that. Its predecessor showcased the logos along with the stories of how they came to be; this compact version puts the spotlight on the logos alone, making it the perfect handbook to logo design.

When LogoLounge debuted in hardcover, it was the first in a series celebrating the work of top logo designers on the innovative Logo Lounge website. Created by Bill Gardner, president of the leading design firm Gardner Design, the LogoLounge website (www.logolounge.com) features the work of handpicked top designers as well as up-and-coming new talent. This book, now in paperback, presents the siteéÆs best designs of the year as judged by an elite group of name-brand designers.

LogoLounge offers a wealth of inspiration and insights for graphic designers and their clients. From the work of superstar artists and firms such as Michael Vanderbyl and Sibley Peteet Design -- including both new campaigns and new projects -- to nearly 2,000 additional logos from various sources, this visually compelling volume will become the go-to resource for inspiration from the best in the field.
