The second edition of Logo Design Love is at the printers. The first edition was written in 2009 and thanks to your stellar support it can be read in various languages and seems to rank well in Amazon’s branding category.
Here’s the blurb my publisher wrote.

Completely updated and expanded, the second edition of David Airey’s Logo Design Love contains more of just about everything that made the first edition so great: more case studies, more sketches, more logos, more tips for working with clients, more insider stories, and more practical information for getting the job and getting it done right.
In Logo Design Love, David shows you how to develop an iconic brand identity from start to finish, using client case studies from renowned designers. In the process, he reveals how designers create effective briefs, generate ideas, charge for their work, and collaborate with clients. David not only shares his personal experiences working on identity projects — including sketches and final results of his own successful designs — he also uses the work of many well-known designers such as Paula Scher, who designed the logos for Citi and Microsoft Windows, and Lindon Leader, creator of the current FedEx identity, as well as work from leading design studios, including Moving Brands, Pentagram, MetaDesign, Sagmeister & Walsh, and many more.

I’ve learned thing or two since 2009, and looking through the original it was obvious where I could make improvements, so it seemed like a good idea to bring the content up to date.
The book’s dimensions are the same as last time (7×9 inches), but the type size and margins are a bit smaller, and the page count is up from 216 to 240, so there’s a fair chunk new content. The paper stock will be an improvement, too.
With the help of the original contributors, many of the first edition case studies have been updated with more insights and images, while many have been replaced by new projects from equally talented folk. I’m much happier with how the book has taken shape, and after six months’ work I’m excited to hold a copy.
