DESCRIPTION:
Symbol Resources As a professional graphic designer, I am always interested in symbols and other forms of visual communication when they are presented in a well designed format and exhibit an underlying understanding of the timeless principles of design. This small sized book takes a good approach to the display of many relevant marks, that for the most part are well conceived and intelligent, as opposed . Content five, binding zero As reviewed in the WSJ, this is a very welcome addition to the field of logo design. One can quibble that some of the leading French, German and Swiss designers are not covered in greater detail - book seems very UK centric especially in the color spreads for the Underground, BOAC, etc.The manufacture of the book is not so great (printed in China of course - whatever happened to the print. A Must-Have in any Logo-Design Library R. Burr Exactly what I was looking for, with ample references taken from around the world and divided into categories, and printed on heavy paper. Beautiful for idea stimulation. The only thing i would change would be to make the book physically taller and wider so it could be opened and examined without having to physically hold it open.
These sections are interspersed with short case studies on both classic examples of symbols still in use, and exceptional examples of recently designed symbols.. The book features over 1300 symbols, organized into groups and sub-groups according to their visual characteristics. Each category includes a short introduction, with expanded captions providing information on who the symbol was designed for, who designed it, when, and where appropriate, what the symbol stands for
