I can’t believe I never heard of this book! My past professor, Dick Felton, did the redesign of the Texaco mark. This might make it on my Christmas list (if there’s still time). ;)

Thanks for the review!

Hi David. This book is excellent. Really makes you understand ths origin of trade mark as the human need for identification and preference for ¨differentiation¨, as Marty Neumeier said in his book The Brand Gap.

Hi Shaun, no problem, glad you managed to get it sorted. It is a good article. All the best with the next audience pulling article!

Thanks for passing on the message David! Cheers Gareth

@Gareth: Thanks very much for posting about the comment problem (and thanks to David for emailing me so soon, long before I would have read it here)

After spending the whole day fighting with WordPress I have finally fixed both the comments and the contact form!

It would be great if you went back and posted your comment, it’s such as shame as the article received over 600 unique visitors and I’m sure many of them must have tried leaving comments and been frustrated when they failed. I’m going to have to get thinking what to write to top that article in terms of popularity!

Thanks again!

I’ll send him an email now, Gareth, and no, I don’t mind at all!

Thank you David, I hope you don’t mind but I need to get in touch with Shaun who’s posted a comment on this article, I’ve tried to post a comment on his “10 apps for mac” post on his blog but when I hit submit it just says “sorry we couldn’t find that” I then tried to email him through the site and it did the same thing, just thought I should let him know, somehow. Could you pass this on David. Many thanks Gareth.

Oh, and Gareth, you’re very welcome for the comment on your blog. It’s a pleasure to submit the first. I agree with you about the comment styling.

James, I hope the talk is great, and that you learn plenty in your design programme.

Sander, looks like another great book. Thanks for the link.

Rost, you can order the book from Amazon. Click any of the links in the post, or search the site.

Michael, hope you have a great birthday.

Shaun, there is indeed. It’s not easy choosing one. This one comes highly recommended though.

Ray, I’d love to know what other logo design books are in your top three.

Steve, where do you work?

Nancy, I’ve been reading Kevin’s blog for a while now, and I’ll definitely check out Lovemarks. Thanks for the tip.

Jacob, quite the rip-off. Interesting how there’s a differently-named version. I wonder if there’s much of a difference.

What the hell, $60 in Australia? Nearly double the price, sheesh. I just checked the our library and they have two versions of this book (another one called function and variety of trademarks) so I’ll have to borrow that tomorrow when I get to Uni and have a read over the weekend, along with the freelance rock star book. Thanks David for the recommendation.
