This is a different kind of logo book for designers - instead of the typical collection of finished logos, this book steps into the studios of top designers as their ideas happen. Case studies trace the evolution of great logos, symbols and icons, illustrating the process with initial roughs and intermediary sketches that lead up to the final designs. The book is especially valuable in that it expands its boundaries to include symbols and icons, two rarely covered yet increasingly vital areas of design. Designers include top corporate identity firms such as Massimo Vignelli Design and Chermayeff & Geismar.
