کتاب لوگوهای ابتدایی

Countless global brands, including Rolex, BMW, Louis Vuitton, and the New York Yankees, still use logos that were designed over 100 years ago. Yet there has never been a monograph devoted to the origins of logo design. In the second half of the 19th century, the trademark replaced traditional symbols such as the family coat of arms as a promotional and identifying symbol for companies. At first, the designs were often still figurative; only gradually did they develop into the abstract marks that have become fixtures in everyday life today.
This unparalleled collection traces the development of modern trademarks and sheds light on forgotten designs and early versions of famous logos.
The catalog is divided into four design categories: “Figurative,” “Form,” “Effect,” and “Typographical.”
Each chapter is then systematically subdivided according to basic elements of design such as circle, line, overlap, and outline, thus offering a new perspective on design principles that are still relevant today.
