"Logo Life" -Ron van der Vlugt

We recognize them, but do we know why they look like that? This was an interesting book about how logos morphed during their history and what influenced the changes. I was surprised by which logos they chose (a lot of foreign ones!)

Fun Fact: each letter of the title is from a different logo. l=Lego, o=Mobil, g=Google, o=Microsoft, l=Volvo, i=IBM, f=Ford, and e=Pepsi ... nailed it!
