Symbol, edited by Angus Hyland with Steven Bateman and containing an introductory essay by David Gibbs, is published today by Laurence King.

The book features over 1300 symbols, organized into groups and sub-groups according to their visual characteristics. Each category includes a short introduction on who the symbol was designed for, the designer, and in some cases, what the symbol stands for. These sections are interspersed with short case studies on both classic and more recently designed symbols.
