LOGO BEGINNING LOGO MODERNISM
Author: Multilingual edition by Jens Muller
Print length: 512
Publication date: 25 November 2025
Description:
By the late 19th century, trademarks began to replace traditional emblems, like coats of arms, as identifying symbols for companies. At first, logos tended to be figurative, but over time they morphed into the abstract marks that we see everywhere today. Yet many iconic brandsâlike Rolex, BMW, Louis Vuitton, and the New York Yankeesâstill use logos designed 100 years ago. Bringing together two previous volumesâLogo Beginnings and Logo Modernismâinto one compendium, design expert Jens MĂŒller (dubbed âthe logo detectiveâ by Wired magazine) has trawled historical trademark archives and design publications to unearth 1000s of logos from as far back as 1870, including many forgotten designs and early versions of todayâs brand identifiers. For clarity and ease of reference, both the Beginnings and Modernism sections are divided into categories (like Pictorial, Form, Effect, and Typographic) with each category further subdivided by basic design elements, like circle, line, alphabet, overlay, dots and squares. For context, in addition to the authorâs essay on the history of the trademark, R. Roger Remington writes on modernism in graphic design, plus there are profiles of eight seminal designersâincluding Paul Rand, Yusaku Kamekura, and Anton Stankowski. Covering everything from media outfits to retail giants, airlines to art galleries, this is an invaluable resource for graphic designers, advertisers, and branding experts. It will also delight fans of cultural and corporate history, and anyone fascinated by the persuasive power of image and form.
