Los Logos 7, the latest edition in our Los Logos series, showcases
current developments in logo design. With Los Logos 7, Gestalten
continues its bestselling series on contemporary logo design that
began with the publication of Los Logos in 2002. Like its six
predecessors, this latest edition is a comprehensive survey of the
visual languages and styles used by cutting-edge logo designers
from around the world. Printed in the familiar landscape format,
this new compendium resets the standard for reference books on
design. Whether primarily designed to identify, inform, or inspire,
today's logos have to cover a lot of bases. Although they are often
created for fast-paced digital platforms, they still need to
provide companies and brands with an enduring visual. Los Logos 7
shows that less has become more. Due to the significant influence
of interface design, current logos are evolving to focus on the
essentials. Consequently, many contemporary designs forgo realistic
images, playful forms, textures, or color gradients and instead
return to classic geometric forms and clear colors. These new logos
master the balancing act between respectful restraint and the
deliberate shaping of an identity. Fully indexed and intuitively
structured, Los Logos 7 draws connections between the applications
and the fields for which the featured logos were intended.
Presented on 400 pages, the work is bundled into the categories
Corporate & Business, Culture, Design, Fashion,
Motion/Media/Games, Music, Art, Politics, Sports, Health /Wellness,
and Education & Sciences. This book not only celebrates the
latest innovations in contemporary logo design, but is also a
precursor to coming styles and trends Its practical examples
inspire designers to create logos in line with the current
zeitgeist and push their designs even further into the future.
International interest in the sophisticated and aesthetic
visualization of complex information made Data Flow a bestseller.
Today, more and more graphic designers, advertising agencies,
motion designers, and artists work in this area. New techniques and
forms of expression are being developed. Consequently, the demand
for information on this topic has grown enormously. Data Flow 2
expands the definition of contemporary information graphics. The
book features new possibilities for diagrams, maps, and charts. It
investigates the visual and intuitive presentation of processes,
data, and information. Concrete examples of research and art
projects as well as commercial work illuminate how techniques such
as simplification, abstraction, metaphor, and dramatization
function. The book also includes interviews with experts such as
The New York Times s Steve Duenes, Infosthetics's Andrew Vande
Moere, Visualcomplexity's Manuel Lima, ART+COM's Joachim Sauter,
and passionate cartographer Menno-Jan Kraak as well as text
features by Johannes Schardt about the challenges in creating
effective information graphics and about the relationship between
complexity, clarity, content, and innovation. Offering practical
advice, background information, case studies, and inspiration, Data
Flow 2 is a valuable reference for anyone working with or
interested in information graphics.
The trailblazing, self-made Belgian designer and artist, Arne
Quinze, is a creative phenomenon. Effortlessly crossing over
between the most diverse disciplines from art, design and
architecture, he has established a new invigorating design language
that has taken the design world by storm and has instantly become
an icon. Quinze's genius lies in his ability to fuse polar extremes
?????? passion and chaos with controlled elegance. He masterfully
creates immaculate, urbane and polished designs that are balanced
with a certain contradicting tension, giving them a refined yet
exuberant appearance. He realises his ideas with extraordinary
verve and is able to apply them to projects of any scale, whether
it be architecture, interior design, urban planning, furniture
design, car design or footwear. This publication is the first
monograph to document Arne Quinze's full creative universe from the
past, present and future. The book showcases celebrated projects
including furniture collections he has created for Quinze &
Milan, where he is the creative director, Moroso and concept cars
for Lamborghini, colossal wooden Uchronia sculpture at the Burning
Man Festival in the Nevada desert, his recent monumental Cityscape
sculpture project in Brussels' Quartier Louise and more. Over 40
projects are presented with lavish photographs, personal sketches
and accompanied by incisive texts giving insight into Quinze's
cosmos. Dazzling but never flamboyant, Quinze is undeniably one of
the most ambitious and influential individuals in the creative
scene today.
Not long ago, porcelain, glass and ceramics were almost exclusively
used to make ostentatious objects best suited for display in
grandmother's cabinet. But now these classic materials are
experiencing a renaissance. Today, they are increasingly being
utilised in playful ways by a new wave of designers and artists,
who are inspired by Modernism's clear forms as well as an ironic
depiction of figures, kitsch and the Romantic. Armed with these
influences and an expanded repertoire of forms made possible by
technological developments such as rapid prototyping, these
designers and artists are manifesting their creative visions in
unconventional objects made of these fragile materials. Fragiles is
an eclectic collection of such contemporary work. This book
presents industrial applications made from porcelain, glass and
ceramics such as the exclusive, futuristic tableware now in use in
avant-garde restaurants around the world. It also features artistic
glass objects by Arne Quinze and Jerszy Seymour as well as striking
porcelain products by Jurgen Bey, Marcel Wanders and Jaime Hayon.
In addition to these projects by renowned creatives, Fragiles also
contains an exciting selection of recent cutting-edge work by
emerging talents. The examples shown in Fragiles range from the
experimental to evocative retroinspired reinterpretations. The
spectrum and quality of these innovative projects shows a current
generation of designers and artists just how relevant and
challenging working with these traditional materials can be.
