The book Los Logos 4 is released by DGV. Like everybody else I have designed some logos presented in this book, as well as in the previous Dos Logos and Tres Logos.

Los Logos 4 is the latest addition to Gestalten‘s line of books on contemporary logo design. This compendium provides an authoritative overview of current developments and advances in logo design, one of the most prestigious of creative disciplines which represent the essential visual identity of brands, companies and their philosophies.

At 568 pages, Los Logos 4 is the largest volume to date, showcasing a collection of contemporary logo design by bourgeoning design talent and once again offering an essential resource for all designers. This state-of-the-art visual encyclopaedia provides a quality selection of over 5,000 examples of stylistic approaches by designers from around the globe. Fully indexed and structured thematically, the book draws connections between the applications and the fields for which they were intended.

Los Logos 4 is the perfect companion to the Logos series and an unparalleled publication on contemporary logo design. The series has proved to be a precursor to styles and trends in logo design and highlighted the increased relevance and importance of the logo in the 21st Century.

The book Norske plateomslag on Norwegian record covers the last 48 years is also released. I did not know about this book until today, but it seems like some of my designs are in it. Like Hugger Mugger by September When, Balloon Mood by Anja Garbarek and Volcano by Satyricon. More info when I get hold of a book. Article in D2 Magazine [N]. Then: I bought the book and by all means: Avoid this ridicolous piece of shit. The curating is sloppy, the attention to details like proper credit for the artwork is lacking, the design is not exactly brilliant, the reproduction is really bad with plenty of moiré and the paper sucks, and they did not ask for permission to use the artwork. You could have asked and get proper files and artwork originals! It could have been an interesting book if it was produced in a professional and decent manner. Whatever you do this Christmas, do NOT buy Norske plateomslag!
