Logo Design Love book sneak peek
The writing is done and dusted, and my packaged InDesign files have been sent to Peachpit‘s production team. All that’s left now is the wait between press, post-press, and shipping. Given how this is my first book, it’s going to be strange when actually I get to hold a copy.
To let you see how the pages look, I’ve just uploaded a few inside images to the Logo Design Love Facebook page—launched today.
Anyone who becomes a “fan” of the page will automatically be entered into a book giveaway drawn on December 18th (the day the book is scheduled to be warehoused for shipping).
If you don’t use Facebook, no worries. There’ll be more copies given away here.
I know not everyone will buy a copy, and for those who don’t, I’m planning to give you a full chapter as a free PDF download. More on that later.
This is the first time I’ve created a Facebook fan page—which Vivien can attest to (thanks for the settings help!)—and I notice that fans are able to upload photos to the page. So I got thinking, if you fancy sharing any of your design work, I’m more than happy to feature the most “liked” logos here on the blog—perhaps at the end of each month, depending on whether you’re interested.
I’ll be sure to stop by regularly, so if you want feedback on a design, mention it in your photo’s comment and I’ll do what I can to help.

Anytime, Vivien. Did you mean to say you wrote the book? :)
Neil, brilliant to know. Here’s hoping for a smooth print run and shipping.

I followed the link of peachpit and there is a rough cut version of the book. what is the difference????

From the Peachpit website, Victor:
My publisher’s initial plan was to have chapters released as a “rough cut” as we progressed through the writing and design, so for example, the first chapter would’ve been available months ago. But not all plans work as anticipated.
I notice you can see the contents page on the Peachpit site (albeit a very shortened version, showing no subheadings).

I’m a little disappointed that it’s being released just after Christmas. It would have made a really great present.
I can’t wait to get a copy, though :)

A pre-Christmas delivery would’ve been great, Anna, no doubt, but it can’t be helped unfortunately. I’m very glad you’re interested, though. Cheers.
