Hi,

This book looks lika a must have, but the price…. 700 dollars is way too much! Anyone knows where to get it cheaper??

Wow, people are trying to sell these for $1000 US or £600!

Thankfully, there was one new copy left on Amazon Canada, which I just scooped up for $60.

I love that I live here. Couldn’t find a copy anywhere else.

I love b/w logos! They burn in your brain like an Early 80’s Video Game! They’re fun to create too!

I live in the US and ordered directly from Laurence King publishing. Can anyone who has this check to see if their copy has the page with ProVen and Profile Partners logos upside down? I noticed that while browsing through my copy and wanted to know if it was a widespread issue or just my copy.

You’re very welcome, Jeremy. I hope it’s not too long before your copy arrives (likewise for you, Antonio).

Cheers.

Preordered. Done. Probably the fastest I’ve bought something in a while.

The multiple book ribbons are a nice touch. Very elegant.

Thanks for this post David!

Panasit Ch

This is the thing about Penatgram that bugs me: an identity should be strong enough to stand on it’s own with nothing else needed to help people ‘get it’. Using an identity across a wide range of materials and uses should enhance what is already a strong marque, not make up for it being distinctly average. I agree with a previous poster on the previous article – I’d love to know who sells to the client for Pentagram because I think they get away with some ‘not-good-enough-for-their-fee-and-reputation’ identities.
