Vector Book Review: Logo Lounge 5
2000 International Identities
Logo Lounge is one of my favourite book series. Primarily, because I spend a great deal of time pumping out logos for various projects.
No matter how good you are, you can always use some inspiration. This series always delivers. If you are building a design library, this is a great place to start.
Volume 5 boasts over 2,000 identities from all over the world. The design of the book is sleek and made for reference. Highly recommended.
“The fifth volume in the best-selling LogoLounge series provides 2,000 totally new logos from designers worldwide. This book, like the previous titles in the series, is compiled in association with LogoLounge.com, a website that was launched by Bill Gardner in 2002. The site is dedicated to logos. Top designers and design firms are handpicked and invited to be foundation members. Foundation and website members each supply multiple logos to the site. Each LogoLounge book presents new logos that have been added to the site, providing designers with an invaluable source for design inspiration and a resource for design solutions.”
Designers Revolution – fantastic graphic design resource
It’s no secret how we feel about Designers Revolution. You will most certainly see several references on Vectorvault to this great website. It has been an evolving database tha just seems to get better and better.
They showcase a diverse selection of helpful tools (some free) in a well designed format. It’s easy to read and a breeze to navigate through. In fact, I think that we could take a few notes from them on layout design. It’s really well done and simple.
They feature vector resources, photoshop resources, and portfolios.
We have had the pleasure of forming a friendship with the gang over there at Designers Revolution. We encourage you to do the same. They are helpful, talented and genuinely passionate about great design.
Make this a regular visit. You’ll be glad that you did.
