So we’re doing the NXNE poster show again this year. You can find us at the Hyatt Regency Toronto on King St. June 18 – 20. We’ll be there 12pm -7pm Thursday and Friday and 12pm – 5pm on Saturday. It’s free so come on by and help keep us off the streets. We’ll have a new NXNE poster (pictured above) for sale as well as a new poster for the Arts & Crafts 2009 NXNE showcase (pictured below). We’ll also have everything in our shop on hand. Good opportunity to save on shipping so come by!

Love this book, great for ideas. Has all the insignia from army and navy air force squadrons. Some really random cool stuff. I see it up all the time if you’re interested in grabbing your own.

Designing Corporate Symbols
Designing Corporate Symbols

I buy a lot of books off of ebay so I figured i’d start posting some of my acquisitions as they come in since it’s about as blog worthy as anything else. Designing Corporate Symbols was published in 1978 and is part of the Corporate Design Collection put together mostly by David E. Carter. It covers 140 or so symbols/logos with a brief write up on the logo along with information on it’s designer. Nice to find a logo book that focuses on quality over quantity for a change and it’s nice to learn a little bit about the thought that went into the design and how it related to the client. Especially since I have never heard of the majority of the companies whose logos appear in the book.
