Book Review: Logo Design Love

About David Airey

I’ve been following David’s personal blog for quite a while. I love the personality and insight he shares in his postings about his logo design process. He is refreshingly open for discussion, and a genuinely nice fellow, as evidenced by all his thoughtful interactions in the comments section of his blog (which by the way he parlays into a chapter of the book). So when he asked me to take a look at his new book, I jumped at the opportunity.

Look and Feel

When I received my copy in the mail, one of the first things I noticed is that the book is the ideal size for holding and reading. This may sound like a trivial detail, but I like when a book just feels right. The cover sports an embossed logo and ample use of white space, it feels a bit flimsy, but holds up well enough.

Flipping through the book, you’ll quickly notice that a good amount of white space is used throughout. It’s a very quick read at just over 200 pages. The font may be a size too big for my liking, but I did enjoy the readability, and I loved the awesome examples that line the pages.

50 Beautiful Business Card Designs

Long gone the days when you simply handed over a white piece of paper with your name and contact info on it to potential clients. Nowadays, who do you think clients will call first, the guy with his name on a sheet of paper or this other one with her name engraved in this colorful plastic wonder?

And what’s that? A little magnifying glass and a free sample of her product? This is too good to be true! She must be really good at her job! I mean, if this is only her business card, just imagine how great the quality of her work must be!
You get the idea, right? Whether you want it or not, image matters. If you want to keep up with the competition, you have to show that you’re a professional in every possible way.

This is good news to designers, since it’s yet another opportunity to come up with new creative ideas to present corporate identities or market themselves, and it’s also good news to everyone else, since having stylish, beautiful business cards is a great way to express your uniqueness and maybe even get an edge over the competition.

In this collection we present 50 beautiful business card designs for inspiration, we hope they’ll give you some ideas and inspiration for your next design project!
