Reviews

I’m going to buy a handful of copies and every time I start a new identity design I will supply the client with this book as a cornerstone of education and communication on the topic. If you like the idea of having a smoother client-designer relationship, you’d be smart to do the same.

Christopher W. Taylor, Amazon.com

A great read for both designers and clients, as it shares valuable insights and discusses the importance of brand identity all the way down to the process from start to finish.

Brian Hoff, The Design Cubicle

A very useful resource for designers who want to specialize in logo design.

Fabio Sasso, Abduzeedo

A must-read for anyone who wants to make their living in the graphic design industry, especially those who want to specialize in the fiercely competitive logo design niche.

Steve Douglas, The Logo Factory
