Product Description

Product Description
This text covers every aspect of the trademark, its history, development, style, classification and relevance in today's world. A brief history is given of the origins of the trademark in heraldry, monograms, owner's marks and certificates of origin. The proceeding chapters explore corporate identity and communication design with an emphasis on sign theory. The core of the book is a comprehensive classification of trademarks covering name marks, abbreviations and all kinds of picture marks. This is followed by an alphabetical index of trademark themes from animals to word puzzles. The index is illustrated by a selection of the world's best trademarks - the marks of excellence from which this book takes its name. The final section of the book covers the development of trademarks over time and across the boundaries of language and space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, concise, dynamic, essential!, 7 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Showcases the world's better-known trademarks, how they came into existence and what they have come to signify in a global marketplace crammed full of logos and symbols of every possible denomination. The historical introduction of the trademark provides a sound basis for the examples which flow freely on later pages. A tad too many Scandinavian examples for my liking, but assuming Per Mollerup (the author) hails from this part of the world I guess we can forgive him his over-indulgence.

This book will provide a source of interest and inspiration to many a scholar, marketeer, designer or member of the public. Loved the black matt-lam cover but it still remains the worst colour in the world for highlighting clammy pawprints! Marks of Excellence - a work of excellence and a gift of excellence to anyone tempted by this review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Art Book, 11 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I basicly see this book as an art book. Enjoy the design of old and contemporary trademarks and their functions. The text though, is very technical - as in other areas of marketing, the science of trademarks and branding is overacademized for nothing.
