Logos are everywhere. They\u2019re on our screens, stitched onto our clothes, and plastered across cityscapes. But how often do we stop to consider the craft, creativity, and thought that goes into designing these deceptively simple icons and wordmarks? That\u2019s exactly what 1000 Marks<\/em><\/a>, a collection of logos from Pentagram, invites us to do.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just a book\u2014it\u2019s a time capsule. Inside, you\u2019re presented with 1,000 symbols and logotypes crafted by Pentagram\u2019s legendary partners since the firm\u2019s founding in 1972. Each mark tells a story, capturing brands from all corners of the world, from grassroots nonprofits to multinational corporations to cultural institutions (there\u2019s even a logo for a country). The beauty lies in their diversity: bold wordmarks, intricate symbols, and abstract designs\u2014all stripped back to black and white, letting the forms take center stage.<\/p>\n

Pentagram<\/a>\u2014founded by graphic designers Alan Fletcher, Colin Forbes, and Mervyn Kurlansky, architect Theo Crosby, and industrial designer Kenneth Grange\u2014has always been about pushing boundaries. While the tools and trends of design have evolved, one thing hasn\u2019t changed: the logo remains a keystone of identity design.<\/p>\n

What struck me most while flipping through 1000 Marks<\/em> is how timeless great design can feel. These marks aren\u2019t just logos; they\u2019re cultural symbols that connect us to brands and experiences. And for designers like me, this book is pure gold\u2014equal parts inspiration and education.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a designer, a brand enthusiast, or just someone who appreciates good design, 1000 Marks<\/a><\/em> is a reminder of why logos matter. They\u2019re more than just pretty pictures; they\u2019re visual ambassadors for ideas, values, and stories. And Pentagram\u2019s collection shows us just how powerful a single mark can be.<\/p>\n
