What's the name of that book?

[Pixels Are Bad Mmmkay?]

There is a book concerning logo design that keeps coming up in conversation lately around here. One of the big graphic design gurus on this board is the author. I want to purchase it but can't remember the name of the book or the author. Does anyone know the book I'm referring to? I googled logo design and layout books and came up with nothing. Thanks for the help.

Oops! Nevermind. I just stumbled onto it in another post. It's the book by Mike Stevens.

the Mike Stevens book is a classic and a must read. Mike isn't a member here as he died some time back in the 1980's, but his principals of layout and design are sound and are still a must know.

Yes not only was Mike a gifted sign painter / designer, but to our benefit, a gifted writer! I sleep with his book under my pillow

Still stand by my post, Dan Antonelli's a contibuting big GD guru of the board and his book concerns logo designs, not layouts.
I have the Stevens' book, I continue to try and plow through it... someday, I will finish.

Mike Stevens book is NOT a logo book... it's a layout book.

All 3 are must read books.

There's about 50 articles you can download from my site which you may find useful as well (and they're free!). http://www.graphicd-signs.com/about-published-works

I'm knee-deep into my third book. 1st quarter release I hope (and pray). It's kicking my butt, so to speak. But most of the heavy lifting is done. I feel like the first two came so easy - or maybe I just forgot how hard the whole process was since I did them 8+ years ago!

The logo design book that I refer to regularly is Leslie Cabarga's, "Logo, Font, and Lettering Bible."

http://www.lesliecabarga.com/

When you order it direct from Leslie he'll send you back a signed copy. If you call the number on the contact page Leslie actually answers the phone. Imagine that!

If my copy were ever lost or stolen I would get on the horn and order up a replacement immediately.

Leslie Carbaga also has "The secret life of a logo". Outstanding book.
