Design Matters: Logos 01: An Essential Primer for Today's Competitive Market (v. 1)

Customer Reviews:

A very worthwhile buy for the pro designer

By Peter Flaschner - August 21, 2007

The book, Design Matters // Logos, from Rockport Publishers arrived a couple of weeks ago. Knowing I'd need some reading material for an upcoming holiday, I held off cracking the covers. I'm glad I did, because when I finally did sit down to review the book, I ended up reading it cover to cover.

See, this book differs from it's logo gallery brethren in that it offers a practical, step by step review of the logo design process. It's clearly written by people who care deeply about branding and logo design.

The book is laid out in sections: Planning, Creating, Implementing, Case Studies, and Gallery. If you've read any of my design related writing, you know I'm a huge proponent of planning. This book dedicates 42 pages to the subject. Each sub-topic is given a two page spread, with plenty of examples and some terrific info graphics (Yes! Info! Graphics!).

This is a book for the professional designer, and as such is immediately head and shoulders above... read more

Outstanding treatment of important business element

By Tom Guarriello - August 27, 2007

Design Matters: Logos, is an excellent treatment of a subject that is too often a black art for most business people. It's informative, stimulating and visually attractive. It's the kind of book that can be skimmed or savored; it certainly stands up well to multiple readings. The layout is conducive to exploration and the case studies give readers concrete examples of the Introduction, Planning, Creating and Implementing model. Excellent way for a team to jointly think about the crucial branding issues raised by logo development. Very highly recommended.

More than beautiful...

By Scott Lerman "SL" - October 1, 2007

This volume on design is both beautiful and insightful. In a bookcase full of vacuous logo "collections", Capsule's effort stands out as a genuinely intelligent, useful, and inspiring work.
