Logolounge 2

Description

A searchable database of 9,000 logos by keyword is available by subscription on the popular website, www logolounge.com, launched in 2002 by author Bill Gardner. If you don't have a subscription but would still like to see the best logos on the site created by top designers who often maintain low profiles, then LogoLounge 2 is for you. Recent note-worthy projects that are claiming the public spotlight are profiled in this book, which covers identities created for various industries such as airlines, networks, dot-coms, banks and fashion, as well as lesser-known boutique projects in which the designer's name is larger than the client's. The first portion of the book profiles 10 top designers and spotlights their biggest, newest campaigns. A handful of their smaller projects are also featured, including some that have never before been seen. The second half of the book contains almost 2,000 logos organised by client type.
