1) Taschen books are generally Excellent 2) this book is a great resource on the history of logos that already exist, it's not to teach you how to design… With that said, I find the page layout odd! I’ve never seen a design book, about good design, that has the text start so close to the top of each page. It looks like a mistake. The bottom of the layout with page numbers also looks too high. It’s quite distracting. I’m an art director and designer of books and magazines myself and would not let this go to print. Either the print vendor shifted pages too high or the Art Director tried a style that is Not balanced. I can only think that maybe this was done so that the book can be printed smaller without resigning the page layout. Still distracting. Also, Taschen should stop printing their xxl books too small. The text becomes too small and difficult to read. It’s a cheaper price point and that’s good, but their designers should First start with a font size that is easier to read when printed smaller. Again, these books are great and designers should own a copy. Cheers Read more
