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!

@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. Dot Design's last blog post...Is WordPress the future for all websites?

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

James,

I hope the talk is great, and that you learn lots in your graphic design programme!

Sander,

Looks like another great book. Thanks very much for pasting the link.

Rafie, Sid,

You’re very welcome.

Rost,

You can order the book from Amazon. Click any of the links in the post, or enter it into a search.

Michael,

Hope you have a great birthday (I’m guessing it’s soon?).

Shaun,

There is indeed so much out there. It’s not easy choosing one. This one comes highly recommended though, and it’s good to see a few others rate it also.

Ray,

I’d love to know what other logo design books are in your top 3.

Steve,

Where do you work? Apologies if you’ve already mentioned it.

Nancy,

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

Lando,

If you do happen to pick it up, it’d be good to know your thoughts.

Jacob,

Quite the rip-off isn’t it? Interesting how there’s a differently-named version. I wonder if there’s much of a difference in the content.

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.

Hi David, bit off topic but wanted to thank you for your comment earlier today, much appreciated. As yours was the first comment on the blog I've discovered that I need to work on my comment CS styles as they currently look like part of the post, not good! So a double thanks! Gareth.

its pretty cool to see the method some designers use when working on logos. effectively this book would be a great tool to any graphic designer. Its also cool as hell to see how back in the day a lot of these designers didnt go for just the most appealing design but rather gave their creations a specific artistic quality/flavor. definitely something I gotta pick up.
