   #11, while an excellent book (it changed my life, in fact) and definitely a “must have,” is not a book about graphic design or inspiration.

   nice resources must read, thanks..

3. Sal - January 17th, 2009

   I’m surprised to see this one missing: TM, Trademarks designed by Chermayeff & Geismar.

   Thanks for including my book, “Identity Crisis!,” on this great resource list.

8. stanko - January 18th, 2009

   Not quite sure how Naomi Klein’s ‘No Logo: No Space, No Choice, No Jobs’ got on this list. Seeing as it has nothing to do with the actual act of designing a logo really. Other than that, nice list Gino.

   I have “The Big Book of Logos” and it has come in very handy during the initial brainstorming part of logo design when I have a slight case of designer’s block.

   For an online reference, I go to Logo Pond (http://www.logopond.com) for ideas and inspiration as well.

    Love this list. Especially because they printed a few of my logos in #15 – Rockport’s “Really Good Logos Explained”

12. denny - January 19th, 2009

    Great collection~! Thanks man

13. Timothy - January 19th, 2009

    I would probably pick one of these up, but do you know which is the best? I would love a good book / collection of internet / business logo trends.

14. Jon Aston - January 19th, 2009

    Are those really all “must haves”? If you had to boil it down to just three, which would they be?

    Also, you might want to check google Dan Antonelli and check out his books.

15. LOGO DESIGN GURU - January 19th, 2009

    Thanks for the nice suggestions. This looks like a promising collection of books. I can’t wait to look into them.

    Great post!

    I am a big fan of “Marks of Excellence.” It is great because it doesn’t just show a bunch of logos, it explains why the logos are good. It describes what common visual elements make up a great logo.

21. Luis Ramirez - January 21st, 2009

    One book that has always been of value to me is Doyald Young’s Logotypes & Letterforms. His book Fonts & Logos is also pretty good.

    Great post! #5 “Identity Crisis” looks particularly interesting.

25. Victoria Blount - March 4th, 2009

    Great book list, i have found Los logo’s and Logo Lounge really good resources throughout university and i’ sure they will come in handy throughout work aswell. Good inspiration when you have a creative block.
