It’s always nice to feel “essential”. That’s exactly how we feel after being included in the recently-released design volume, Brand Identity Essentials. This excellent book by Rockport Publishers showcases our work with Nerdcore and highlights the principles that make up successful identity programs. It’s definitely worth the read.

Just released is Peleg Top’s powerful, pint-sized logo volume, Logolicious! With more than 1,000 inspiring logo examples within its pages, we’re proud to have five of our projects represented, including work for Geek Monthly, Prominic.NET, Park Community Church, Nerdcore, and our own Hexanine logo. Thanks to Collins Design for putting out another great design book.

We’ve drooled over the Los Logos series since it’s debut in 2002, so we’re thrilled to announce that the new Los Logos: Compass features five Hexanine pieces — our Compulsions, Nerdcore, Ocean Dawn, Park Community Church logos, as well as our type-treatment for last year’s Nerdcore calendar, “Horror”. This fifth book in the series sports a new look and editorial approach, but don’t be fooled; Berlin-based Gestalten still dishes out the same cutting-edge, international identity design we’ve come to expect.
