Synopses & Reviews
This book, the beginning of a new series of books by the authors of LogoLounge, will be the ultimate collection of logos by category. As with our other books on logos, this will have the same inspirational draw. Logos are still one of the top design projects and designers are constantly looking for fresh inspiration. This series takes a close look at specific logo elements giving readers a huge reference to draw on, especially if they collect all the volumes in this series.
This new series will feature 3,000 logos that will repurpose some existing content and use what is leftover from the LogoLounge competitions as new content to fill books based on these categories. The latest LogoLounge competition has yielded more than 34,000 entries, of which only 2,000 will be featured in LogoLounge 5, so there’s plenty of new material for these category specific books.
