‘Marks’ Out Now in Paperback
Last year when we issued our book Pentagram Marks in a limited edition format, the title quickly sold out and became a collector’s item. This month Laurence King publishes the paperback edition of the book, which compiles 400 logos produced by Pentagram’s partners, past and present. Designed and edited by Angus Hyland, the book includes marks for everything from huge multinationals (Citibank, 1998), to cultural institutions (Art Institute of Chicago, 2008), to personal logos (Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Hair, 1976). It even includes some ’60s classics that pre-date Pentagram’s founding in 1972 (the original Reuters logo, 1968).
