1. Hello Luis,
   Yeah it is great heh? I am awaiting the Logo Lounge 5 book to be released and will be purchasing that as they have been kind enough to feature 2 of my logos in it. Re my own book, I will start back on it in mid August as I am about to leave for vacation. I’ve done the first chapter and front cover thus far. If everything goes to plan, it will be ready before Christmas.

2. Wow that’s handy! Already in my amazon wish list. Thanks for sharing

3. You are so cute!

4. Great video review! and congrats on getting into Wolda! I love the look of the ‘Logo, Font & Lettering Bible’ one. If you wanted to buy it (or any other book) you should check out bookdepository.co.uk, they end up being much cheaper than Amazon because shipping’s free.

5. Erik,
   Yeah I remember you posting that review last week, left a comment or two. Will keep an eye out for it. Thanks.

   Brian,
   Wow, you own all of them and all of those typography books? Don’t know about where you live but these books are about $70 a pop – so can’t have em all. What would you say is your favourite two typography books? Thanks for the link too.

   Andrew,
   Haha, well thanks I guess 😛

   Livia,
   Thanks for the book depository link!

6. Great collections, I really like the identity crisis book its really complete and explains every case really well, Jeff Fisher is a great Logo Designer and his book is other prove of his ability of branding.
   Personally I like the logo lounge collection, I only own the 2 in this moment, but are really inspirational.
   When are you doing your own book Jacob?

7. Jacob, Thanks for the reviews and the recommendation on “Logo” by Michael Evamy which arrived at my office last Friday. It’s a great resource.

8. Great round up Jacob. Own all but the ‘Marks of Excellence’ book… might need to pick that one up, thanks! Also I just posted something similar yesterday on Top Typography books on The Design Cubicle. Thought I’d share 🙂

9. Great books Jacob, appreciate the picks.

10. i’m so going to rent the logo, font, and lettering bible from the library ASAP. thanks so much, that was great advice and the pages look great in black and white.

    great job!

11. Yes I’m also waiting the 5 and congratulations for your two logos featured there, thats a honor, can i know which ones? I imagine JCD but the other???? and for your book I can imagine will be awesome!!! I’ll wait it for Christmas so.
    Keep working like that!!

12. Great roundup, Jacob! I recently purchased LOGO by Michael Evamy and it is now one of my fave logo design books. Definitely agree on that recommendation.

13. Luis,
    The Squareroom & Peter Ryan logo designs will be appearing in Logo Lounge 5.

    Tracy, Ken, Josiah,
    You’re welcome.

14. Excellent book list. I remember that “Marks of Excellence” was always a handy source of inspiration when I was at Uni.
    Must take a look at the others..

15. I really need to get myself some good logo design reference material. kudos for the tips!

16. Excellent List, i like this book “Marks of Excellence” but 🙁 but nowadays i lost it somewhere, well anyways i will do follow you up to know more on it and the coming latest ones from you.

17. Wow this site is slow

18. I try to buy a new book every other week and generally by the used from Amazon so I get them all at a fraction of the price. Plus for holidays and birthdays and what not, I always ask for books for giftcards to book stores.

    Two favorite typography books?… Making and Breaking the Grid and the Type Director Club Annuals for great inspiration.

19. great post! thank you!

20. It is very excellent book for designing concepts and Design your own logo.

    All Books are fine but Logo Design Workbook is the best book for logo designing and Logo Design Workbook is the best tutorial for dummies of How to design a logo.

    Best Post for logo design student

21. Great review.

    I’ve been looking for a new logo book and just received my copy of Logo Savvy. Even after flicking through it looks like it’s going to be a great addition to my library [read: I own far too many books].

    Hopefully along with this new book and my plethora of others my post-uni re-brand will be a lot smoother 🙂

    Keep up the good work! You should definitely try and do more reviews in the future, it’s always good to hear what other people think of the resources around us, other than just on Amazon , and the like, reviews.

25. ‘Logo’ is the book for me it is excellent and a great reference for ideas, styles and approaches.

    If I was dropped on a desert island and could only take one design book with me it would be this one, it has become a classic design book to me. In fact so much so I did a review of it back on my blog.

    I’m hoping they put together a ‘Logo 2’

26. This is a great list. I have browsed though most but am yet to read the Logo Design Workbook. Will take a look at that one. Thank you for sharing. Great post.

27. Can we get some recent book list?

28. I’m a rookie at this and would love to get into logo creating and designing. Is there anything you can recommend to help me start? Books, software, anything that will allow me to become as great as the designs on here!

    Any info would be greatly appriciated!

    Thanks…

    Great collection about logo design books, I’m seeking this types of resource, thanks a lot for sharing.

32. Today, growing students fall in love in middle schools that fears all elders. As far as I concerned, I don’t agree to early love. No matter admit it or not|In spite of you agree or not|whether admit it or not|Regardless of you agree or not}, have premature loves affairs will certainly not good for study , since it spends much time and lose energy. However the mostmomentous is that teenager are not mature enough to run a relationship.
