For many, specifically for those whose kids return to school next week, Summer is over and, looking for a valid excuse, I’m taking the day off from writing a post. In exchange, perhaps not fair but something is something, you can browse our newly gathered selection of logo/identity/brand books that we recommend. Feel free to make any recommendations in the comments here. I excluded recurring compendiums like Los Logos and Logo Lounge not because I don’t like them but I think those are a given in terms of books to browse every now and again.
