About Logo Histories
We believe that by making sense of the design conditions of the past designers and business leaders can develop more distinctive and useful corporate identities today. Technology has changed, but surprisingly, the constraints, considerations and some of the business conditions have similarities.
The Logo Histories mission is to develop the practice of logo design by encouraging designers to be historically informed. We do this through the format of the short story.
Further, it is written to help business leaders understand some of the contexts behind successful corporate identity programmes of the past so they can better collaborate with strategists and designers through a common historical insight.
Logo Histories is a paid membership. This helps build out the material library of books and magazines that continue to provide a rich resource for logo design histories.
