- As I said at the top of the course,
logo design is a vast topic.
Easily, the work of an entire career
and there are many, many sources of inspiration
online, in print, and just looking around.
I'd like to thank Bill Gardner
and the crew at logolounge.com.
LogoLounge is a pretty remarkable
online database of a quarter million logos
searchable by style, by designer, by client.
Many attributes.
It's a great place to go just to look around
for ideas, to see trends, to see what's being done.
One caveat, though,
it's easy to get lost in that candy store,
so budget your time accordingly.
I think my favorite instructional book
is called Logo Design Love
by designer David Airey.
Well worth the small investment.
Mr. Airey has impeccable taste
and a real heart for teaching.
And his book is so simple,
so easy to read and learn from.
When you're finished watching here
your next stop should be Amazon.
Just buy it.
Google is a surprising resource.
Just Google the kind of logo you're interested in
or the field you're interested in
and see what comes up.
I was surprised.
Behance is a designer showcase.
Good resource.
It's an Adobe site.
And because it's best to learn from the best,
I recommend visiting as many top design firms
as you can find,
and perusing their work.
One of the best is Pentagram,
but there are many, many others.
This again, is where one search
will lead to another,
so take the time to do that.
And finally, I'd like to thank
designer Karen Barranco.
Like I said, a favorite designer of mine
for providing some of the great examples
you saw in this course,
especially those at the end.
You can see more of her work,
and I recommend you do this,
at specialmoderndesign.com.
So, that's it.
Until we come back to this topic,
all the best to you and your new endeavors
in logo design.
