Synopsis
The creation of the enfants terribles of the design world - the Dublin-born, Dutch based Stone Twins, who have become notorious for their subversive mock marketing campaigns, such as the one they devised for the Catholic Church, as well as their work for corporate clients like GlaxoSmithKline, Dockers and Levis - "Logos R.I.P" is an elegy for corporate lost causes. Featuring dozens of colour photographs of tombstones, plaques and headstones displaying the roll call of deceased logos, and with pages that are reverentially edged in sombre black, this book aims to inspire and provoke reflection, as well as a healthy dose of wry amusement as well as a touch of "schadenfreude".

Synopsis
This is a book and a memorial commemorating logotypes (trademarks) which have vanished from our visual landscape - whether through mergers, acquisitions, rebranding or bankruptcy. Compiled and designed by The Stone Twins, the book records and bids farewell to an international selection of great graphic-symbols - many are icons of their time or deemed to be design classics, whilst others cost millions to be implemented only to be replaced within a year or two.

LOGO R I P
Seller: Hennessey + Ingalls, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Used - Like New. Through mergers, bankruptcy and rebranding many of the logos and trademarks that were once an integral part of our visual landscape have vanished. Logos R.I.P. has been compiled and designed by the Stone Twins and it commemorates an international selection of graphic icons from the 20th Century. Each one has its own individual story to tell and each story is encapsulated in a series of 'in memorium' notices featured at the back of the book which take the form of farewell tributes and include a brief history and significant facts. Some of these icons have achieved the status of design classic, others have been relegated to the scrap heap only two years after implementation and at huge expense. In the true style of the swan song Logo R.I.P. has been designed in the style of a biblical hymnbook. The introduction is by Gert Dunbar. Seller Inventory # 224519

Leinen / Cloth. Condition: Gut. 191 p.: ill. Leicht berieben, bestoßen und vergilbt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / Slightly rubbed, scuffed and yellowed, otherwise in very good condition. - n Today's ruthless business environment, corporations face uncertain futures. The forces of globalisation are creating unprecedented change. Yet apart from the displacement, downsizing and elimination of the workforce, the other casualitites are the visual manifestations of the company: its logo, or trademark. 'Logo R.I.P.' is a commemoration of logos withdrawn from the ocular landscape. Many are considered icons of their time or international design classics, whilst others cost millions only to be replaced within a year or two. These logos disappeared, yet in contrast to the ceremony and pomp that greeted their arrival, they often suffered an ignoble death. Now deemed defunct, they are consigned to the logo graveyard, no longer allowed to signify. ISBN 9789063690632 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 356. Seller Inventory # 1204598
