AIGA Houston presents

Jack Gernsheimer

and his new book Designing Logos:
The Process of Creating Symbols That Endure

Jack Gernsheimer spoke in Austin last night and this is what AIGA Austin President Jennifer Idol had to say…

“We held Logo Lounge in Austin last year and had the honor to host Jack Gernsheimer this year. His lecture echoed some of Bill Gardner’s sentiments, reaffirming the validity in his experiences. Jack dispels the myths surrounding successful logo design with 10 simple steps and articulates the process and reasoning behind his logos. He is an unassuming champion of design.”

—Jennifer Idol, AIGA Austin

This essential book for all graphic designers looks at the process of logo design and the criteria used to determine whether or not a logo stands a good chance of being here down the road. Whether you’re an educator, a student of design, a CEO recognizing the need for a corporate identity change, or just a fan of strong design, this book will help you make a more well-informed decision about the quality of logos.

Designers, educators, students, marketing specialists, and fans of design need look no further than this invaluable sourcebook for answers to these questions and many more. Packed with tips and lavishly illustrated, Designing Logos is an accessible reference for the design and implementation of a logo — from the initial creative thought process, through the presentation of logo alternatives to a client, to final implementation, with valuable, practical information.
