Logo Design Fundamentals: An Introduction & Workbook for Beginners Including Logo Design Principles, Tips, Ideas, Branding, Practice Projects and ... Fundamentals, Tutorials, Lessons & More) Paperback – May 18, 2023

Great resource for beginners! I bought this book for my daughter, who has expressed an interest in logo design and ended up reading it cover to cover. It covers everything, from the principles of logo design, to tips and tricks and even enough instruction to get you started on several design software programs. It’s succinctly written and easy to understand. Such a great find.

An excellent book for anyone who is looking for an introduction to logo design principles, full of examples and explanations!If you are looking to learn the fundamentals of logo design, this is the guide you should read. Not only does it provide an in-depth look at design principles and the psychology behind them, but also it enables you to apply the concepts through specific projects in the workbook. The author draws from her active career experience to teach in simple-to-understand terms and practical examples. I highly recommend it!

I read this fat pamphlet immediately after reading another work by this author: "Graphic Design Fundamentals".The good: There is very little overlap between that booklet and this one.The bad: There's a lot of bad.This booklet feels messy and poorly organized, with some redundant / repetitive sections. I wish "Graphic Design Fundamentals" and "Logo Design Fundamentals" were combined into one booklet.Just like its predecessor ("Graphic Design Fundamentals"), only ~half of this pamphlet contains real content. The rest is a fat appendix with brainstorming guides, Adobe Illustrator screenshots, etc. However, "Logo Design Concepts" is even worse: it only has 40 pages of "real" content (20% less than its predecessor). Yet somehow, it still costs the same amount of money.I am baffled that a book on logo design doesn't mention the word "Favicon" even once (unless I missed it). I don't think it even mentions "app icon". It does talk about scale, but those chapters / sections (yes there are at least two) don't mention the tiniest of tiny uses of logos.The "Creating a Style Guide" chapter feels super short. If you shoved a style guide under my nose and told me to describe the contents with text, I'd probably write roughly what this author wrote. Even though I have zero experience creating a Style Guide. The example Style Guide image shown was very rudimentary, too. So that chapter was borderline useless.If my review hasn't scared you off and you are deciding between "Graphic Design Fundamentals" and "Logo Design Fundamentals", I'd go for the first one, and learn the logo stuff via YouTube and blog posts. Or maybe buy a book by someone else. Just know that neither work by this author is worth $25.I am sad that I paid $25 for this pamphlet. This is only worth $5, maybe $7.

I am just learning and figuring this all out as I start out my next chapter in life and this book has really helped me understand how to design. And I do not have a creative bone in my body! Thank you for this helpful and informative book!

Even if you think you're an armchair expert at design, this reference guide reinforces concepts that are easy to understand and most importantly, remember. Highly recommend having this at arm's length every time you work on even a quick design project. Particularly useful for shirts, merchandise, etc. too and not just logos.

This book hits the nail on the head with logo designing for those who are just starting out! And I love that it comes with a bonus workbook to practice logo design projects!!

Another top notch resource by Kris Miller!

Easy to follow, very informative!
