Created by Bill Gardner, president of leading design firm Gardner Design, the Logolounge Web site showcases the work of handpicked top designers as well as up-and-coming new talent. The book will present the site's best designs of the year as judged by an elite group of name-brand designers. Logolounge features the work of superstar artists and firms such as Michael Vanderbyl and Sibley Peteet Design and includes both new campaigns and never-before-seen projects. With 2,000 logos from a variety of sources, this visually compelling volume will become the go-to resource for inspiration from the best in the field.
To be honest, I'm more impressed with these smaller, condensed versions of the Logo Lounge series. While their larger counterparts do include more material, (specifically case studies) the quality and amount of that material really doesn't justify the price. (The hard cover versions of these books are $50. I wouldn't pay more than $39 for it.)
These condensed editions show only the logos themselves, which serve as a terrific quick reference for ideas. And at $19.99, they're certainly worth adding to the design library.
