American Trademarks
April 1st, 2010
American Trademarks, a new book of historical logos, has just been released. I was asked by the books editors, Eric Baker and Tyler Blik, to contribute as one of a handful of contemporary designers whose work would be intermingled throughout.
The book is a repackaging of a series of books that Baker and Blik put out back in the 80s. I’m not exaggerating when I say that they were as formative to my development as a designer as any other single resource. To be included in this repackaging amongst such an esteemed list of designers is easily the biggest professional compliment of my career thus far.
Pretty proud of this one. Good stuff.
(Big high-five to Draplin, the other young buck in the lineup.)

Yeah, each contributor was asked to write a short piece about logo design.
