Nice to see that Michael Evamy's Logotype (2012) now is also published in a mini verson, two years after the launch of the compact version of his other meisterwork Logo (2007). This series of two is a complete, taxonomical guide to the history, development and style of identity design. Featuring the work of past masters alongside some of the most exciting work from contemporary designers. Or as Pentagram's Michael Beirut explained: "The next time you are tempted to design a logo, take a look at the book. Chances are, it has already been done." Very honoured to be part of the selection and featured in these books with 6 logo's.

Branding is just as important for the smaller ones as it is for the big names. Size doesn't matter when you're innovative, bold and daring. The book Branding and Identity by Artpower International Publishing is about small independent enterprises, services and manifestations that create impact through their uniqueness in style and visual communication. And shows illustrious cases from all over the world by Lo Siento (Barcelona), Mind Design (London), Lundgren + Lundqvist (Göteborg) and Ghost (Stavanger) amongst many others. Boy Bastiaens (Maastricht) was represented with a five page contribution about the branding of the Von Eusersdorff fragrance label and the Conflict designmarket. Who's logo roll tape made it also to the cover of the book.
