Dos Logos: Contemporary Logo Design

Dos Logos is a visual compendium of contemporary logo design, presented as a digital PDF for readers of graphic design and visual culture. This digital download provides instant access after purchase.

Following Los Logos, the book focuses on current logo practice rather than historical commercial case studies or established design awards. It brings signs together in thematic contexts, supporting comparison between their visual forms and meanings.

With approximately 2,800 signs from 24 countries, Dos Logos offers a broad snapshot of international design activity and the ideas shaping contemporary visual identity.

Book Overview

Dos Logos examines logos as both expressive forms and carriers of meaning. Its structure retains the categories of signs, typograms, typefaces, and combinations while organizing the material into ten thematic chapters.

The book considers how designers respond to their cultural and social surroundings. It discusses the relationship between signifier and signified and explores how a logo can simplify complex subjects while retaining concealed complexity.

A dozen designers are interviewed briefly about their personal approaches, sources of inspiration, and ways of working with clients. The result is a design reference for readers studying logos, branding, typography, and visual communication.
