A corporate logo allows us to distinguish one organization from another.
To achieve this, the logo should visually reflect the activities, values, and attributes that best represent the organization from the leader's perspective.
A logo can create expectations about a new business or service, but it doesn't change opinions about a business that have already been formed through personal experience.
It is our personal experiences that give our logos real associations and meaning.

Now let's get inspired by the best references!


Have you ever thought about the importance of logos? We encounter countless logos in our daily lives.

Logos, one of the most important elements of branding, permeate people's minds and evoke powerful associations all over the world.
The power that logos have in the design world is overwhelming.
The author, a renowned designer and professional writer, has compiled a wealth of logo design and in-depth insights into logos into one book.

A book that explores “form,” the core of logo design!


Apple's now famous apple-shaped logo.
Did you know that Apple's pre-revised logo from the mid-1990s was completely unattractive? Did you know that Nike's famous swoosh logo was actually a hastily created request from a friend? Nike founder Phil Knight reportedly wasn't initially impressed with the hastily created swoosh logo.
Whether born of a sudden flash of inspiration or the result of thorough research and long-term refinement, a logo is one of the most powerful weapons and assets organizations across a wide range of industries can wield to capture people's attention.

The author presents the meaning of logos, the history and development of logo design, and provides excellent examples to help readers naturally understand the key components and expressive techniques of brand identity design.
For each logo, a brief description is provided along with the designer who created the logo, the time it was designed, and the company category, making it very useful for those who need to create logos for specific industries.

This book presents logos without color to focus on their unique morphological characteristics, and categorizes them into over 80 morphological types based on their main visual characteristics and characteristics, making it easy to look up logo components and patterns like a dictionary.
Among the various logo works contained in the book are those of familiar graphic designers and masters such as Paul Rand, Saul Bass, and Alan Fletcher.
Another advantage of this book is that it provides an English index of design studios that participated in logo design at the end of the book, making it easy to grasp the current status of companies engaged in branding business at a glance.
