Logo Beginnings explores how recognizable brand identities started long before their final forms. The book focuses on early sketches, drafts, and development stages that reveal the thinking behind well-known logos.
Rather than showing only polished results, the collection highlights experimentation and iteration. Rough concepts, alternate directions, and unfinished marks demonstrate how designers refined visual ideas into lasting identities.
The publication also emphasizes process over perfection. By documenting the evolution of logos, it offers insight into decision-making, typography, symbolism, and how small adjustments can reshape a brand’s visual language.
Visual comparisons between early concepts and completed logos allow readers to see how identities changed over time. This makes the book both a design archive and a study of creative development.
