I've always liked the simplicity of the Logik word mark, and was thrilled to have it included in the publication Design Elements: Typography Fundamentals.
A look at the book Graphic Design Thinking: Beyond Brainstorming containing thirty tools and techniques including brand matrix, action verbs and rhetorical figures.
Well, at least that's the opinion of the new book Damn Good: Top Designers Discuss Their all Time Favourite Projects by Tim Lapetino and Jason Adam of Hexanine.
Ben Day, is a 1996 black comedy by Dana Arnett. Ben is the ficticious creator behind Happy the Hamburger Helper Hand, Americas most beloved corporate icon. After an eight year rut, Ben finds a new source of inspiration in ‘closet man’ and his groundbreaking work results in both awards and an unparalleled ego.
The logos for idApostle, Processed Identity and the Ottawa Food Bank are included in this design ‘cube’. I love the publications clean layout and how every image was given its own page, providing focus on the work. I should have ordered it sooner.
Two idApostle logos appear in the recently published LogoLounge book, Master Library: Type and Calligraphy. The publication is “a highly organized collection of 3,000 typographic logo designs. Interviews with such top-tier logo designers as Miles Newlyn, Jessica Hische, and Ken Barber provide insights on the values, traditions, and future of designing with typography.”
I was asked to contribute an article for the quarterly publication on the subject of logo design—specifically how design should be approached as a business exercise and not simply a task of crafting a pretty visual. Armed With a Purpose outlines the importance for a graphic designer to understand context through research and not simply be a taxi driver.
Following publication of idApostle logos in three new design books, I am very happy that LogoLounge has selected the Stealth Security and Ricochet Creative Thinking logos for their upcoming book, Master Series: Type and Calligraphy.
I am thrilled to have contributed the article The Role of Sketching in the Creative Process to Logo Nest 01. The newly released book is now shipping and I am giving away two copies of the limited edition run.
Four idApostle logos appear in the recently published Logolicious!, Design DNA Logos, and LogoLounge 6 books. Logolicious! is “a tasty collection of the best logos from around the globe” and showcases the logo for Jennifer R. A. Campbell and the Westboro Nursery School.
“Over the years, I have traveled a great deal all over the world. When I arrive at the airport in a city, I have a business problem to be solved. I am at the airport and I need to get to my hotel. As I leave the terminal building, I usually see a number of taxis waiting to take passengers to their destinations. All I have to do is tell the taxi driver exactly where I want to go. The taxi takes me to my destination, and I pay a fee for this service.
Two idApostle identities were selected to appear in the new LogoLounge project, "Shapes and Symbols", the third book in the new Master Library series. Another two have been selected to appear in “LogoLounge Volume 6”.
The upcoming publication Design DNA: Logos: 500+ International Logos Deconstructed by Matthew Healey, and published by Rockport Publishers, will include two idApostle identities.
If you work with me there is a good chance you will be getting a copy of this in the future. I think this is a great tool to inspire anyone involved in a branding project.
