Logo Creed shows you how to navigate the discovery process from researching the field, reading the air for clues, and making the best use of budgets, to knowing what sort of mark to create. From there, you will move into development, where you will learn how to identify the most potent ideas, brainstorm effectively by yourself or with others, recognize the components of great logos, and understand how to distill ideas down to the very best solution. Finally, you will move into the delivery process, where you will learn to build brand DNA, craft presentations for specific situations and clients, tell the brand story, and keep your designs vital and alive even after they leave your hands.

Resources for research and inspiration are abundant, but finding quality resources can be tricky, not to mention expensive. At LogoLounge.com, you’ll find more than 240,000 searchable logos submitted by designers around the world, from the most famous to the up-and-coming.
