 Must have for any graphic designer February 6, 2010

After following David's blog throughout my college course I was thrilled when this was released. The information is essential to anyone looking to work freelance and learn about creating great brand identities. The book has inspired me immensely and it has some brilliant examples and explanations to some of the best logos out there. I have already seen massive improvements in my work and I look forward to, hopefully, a bright future in design.
Definitely a must buy.
Excellent book for designers February 9, 2010

I bought this book after discovering David's website, which is also full of useful information. I read this book from cover to cover and it's well laid out with some very useful design tips on dealing with clients, how to go about designing a logo and lots of thoughts from other designers. Buy it now.
Absolutely Awesome February 3, 2010

As a design student, I've been constantly adding to my library of books during the years of my study. Some have stood out and have been read thoroughly, however some have been left for the next rainy day. But since arrival of this book, there hasn't been a day gone by that I haven't referred to it. It contains well known icons, but also includes some I'm completely unaware of. This book has taken pride, not only on my bookcase but on my desk.
I would not have second thoughts of repurchasing this book, and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone; clients, students, designers and anyone interested in well written literature.
Superb Book, Essential Reading For Designers January 29, 2010

I work for a design agency in Nottingham as well as doing freelance design, and I handle a lot of identity work. This book is absolutely invaluable for anyone looking to either specialise in this sector of the industry or improve the work they produce, and I wish a lot of the advice that's in the book was given to me earlier in my career. IT is full of that simple common-sense that you kinda feel is the right thing to do but you just need to hear it from someone else, if you know what I mean. It's insightful, reassuring, and written in a great 'no bull' way. It's great for students and industry veterans alike and I'm looking forward to seeing how much it improves my own logo work.
Fantastic book for any budding designer January 28, 2010

This is a fantastic book, full of insite into the depth and thought behind logo creation.
It truly inspires you the reader to be more creative and to think from another more exciting level when thinking about what is behind a logo or visual identity.
It gave me back my spark for everything I love about design, and made me want to get my notebook out and start doodling.
The section on the design process is especially thought provoking and useful, and really shows you how when designing a logo you must start from the ground up with mind mapping and sketching out your thoughts and ideas before diving straight in, by mapping out your thoughts and ideas you can come across angles you may not have noticed.
Not only does this book take you through the design process and how to "think" like a logo designer it also has many practical tips on working with clients, from the initial pitch to final project completion.
A great book, by a great clear and concise writer.
Be warned if you buy this book you may well find yourself analysing all those well know logos out there!
