Tres Logos
Logo design is one of the most crucial and challenging tasks in graphic design. Seemingly simple, The Logo becomes the indispensable face of companies and conveys the brand's identity and philosophy.
Los Logos and Dos Logos documented this unceasing evolution. Expanding on the previous editions, Tres Logos demonstrates how influences from illustration and street art have become increasingly evident in logo design inspiring ornamental patterns with logos replacing the abstract tag. Additionally, companies are becoming more daring and exploiting their logos to identify their brand with a certain style and appeal.
Fully indexed and structured thematically, the book draws connections between the applications and the field for which it was intended. Like its predecessors, Tres Logos explores the exceptional visual language and stylistic approaches to logo creation by designers around the globe, exhibiting thousands of examples and simultaneously providing information about the "makers'" personal approach.
Tres Logos is a state of the art visual encyclopedia on the current state and evolution of Logo Design.

Ladislav Sutnar: Visual Design in Action
First published in 1961 and out of print for more than forty years, visual design in -action is the summation of the influential graphic design theories and principles developed by Czech-born designer Ladislav Sutnar.

This book, a facsimile of the rare first edition, includes a new introduction by Steven Heller and shows how Sutnar's innovative approach to graphic design prefigured the informational structures now employed in contemporary web design.
