Notice the one thing all these logos have in common that logo designers need to do more

Some very inspiring stuff in there actually.

We can all I’m sure spot some shapes in there we’ve seen in some modern logos. Designers are often inspired by the past/other designers.

I love vintage and would look to see more vintage samples at Logo Design Love :)

Print-outs of these look great in my sketchbook and I always find myself using them as inspiration for new ideas and drawings!

I wish I had the book.

It’s always interesting to see logos from decades ago, you can see how design has progressed since and what factors have stood the test of time. Looking at these it’s clear the are all from the 60’s and 70’s, their usage of bold curved designs indicate this era well.

Looking at the PG design this has a few characteristics of logo design from this era, most notably the three lines effect. The same can be seen again in ‘The Georgian Group’ and ‘Gerard Martin’ logos. Obviously this was one of the design styles of the time that certainly hasn’t passed the test of time.

Having sheets of old logos such as this is always useful, if we can see what design factors can still be current decades on then we can learn how to create logos that will last for generations.
