Product Description
This book is a hands-on guide to the entire process of making logos and fonts and even icons, all of which, essentially, start with the ability to draw letterforms. The intent of the book, in fact, is to enable the user to end reliance on "OPF" (other people's fonts) and learn to draw your own custom logos, fonts and lettering! There are many books on the market that simply display collections of logos and fonts, and that give the history of logos and fonts. But Log… More >>

I assume this book has lots to give as far as advice and suggestions concerning logo design, unfortunately I could not get past the illegible and cluttered layout and take advantage of what the author had to offer. I think it is unacceptable to offer a book to graphic designers that has been laid out so poorly, the style is nether contemporary, boring nor exotic it is simply messy and chaotic. It is too bad because content wise it is the book I've always wanted.

Leslie may have an impressive resume but he really needs to get over himself. Whatever information the book provides is negated by his printer bashing, lame sense of humor and general bitchyness. I would rather hear from an experienced graphic designer not an experienced graphic designer that thinks he's a comedian. Leave the humor to Robin Williams. I forced myself to finish it because the subject is important to me but I'm sure I could find the same information elsewhere, more palatable.

Often the value of a book is based on what the reader is looking for but this book provides value to only a few (the other reviewer.)
This book is poorly organized, it seems to go all over the place and there is no logical flow. With the different layout and design of each page it adds another level of difficulty in reading and following. Topics are not comprehensive; often it gives you only select tips. With background in the topic there is no reference for the tips.
This book does provide some good tips. Only consider this book if you are a professional typographer, it assumes you have extensive knowledge in typography.

J'ai acheté ce livre en me fiant aux commentaires positifs lus ici et sur certains sites consacrés à la typographie. Je constate malheureusement que JT Liu (voir autres commentaires) a en partie raison : la mise en page est plutôt mauvaise, le contenu semble se limiter à ce qui se fait aux États-Unis seulement et les logos choisis comme exemples sont parfois carrément hideux, tout droit sortis de l'esthétique "cheap" du début des années 1990. Je trouve aussi que l'auteur met trop l'accent sur la typrographie et le graphisme d'après-guerre, alors qu'il aurait été intéressant de voir plus d'exemples de ce qui se fait aujourd'hui. Seule la partie technique, consacrée à la manipulation des courbes de Bézier et à l'utilisation de logiciels comme Illustrator et Fontographer (même si ce dernier est désuet), mérite le détour.
Dommage… – retour à l'envoyeur.

This just arrived about 5 minutes ago in the mail from Amazon, and I can tell already that it it is going to be a great read! Lots of pretty pictures and illustrations just bursting with color. Buy it! This seems to be a very unique book on graphic design with something for everyone.
