About Logo Histories
Design history is on the decline, increasingly absent from our educational institutions or packaged up into simplistic social posts. Logo Histories offers practicing designers, students and self-taught designers important contextual detail to the foundations of contemporary design practice. All in the convenient format of a newsletter! We focus primarily on logos but also cover corporate identity and the historical context that gave shape to these.
It isn’t a comprehensive design history, but it provides a better sense of how and why, connecting readers to the thinking of the pioneering designers and studios of the past.
