In Issue 34 of Logo Histories’ Research Archive we have have assets from Japanese department store Matsuya designed by PAOS; logos and icons for John Deere by the Deere & Company Advertising Department and logo variations of the Nova logo by Landor Associates.
Research Archive is a look at some of the materials I’ve picked up to help source stories for Logo Histories.
